MetaShield
Clear Coating Blocks All Ultraviolet Rays
MetaShield LLC has launched MetaShield400, a fully transparent coating that blocks ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths up to 400 nanometers (nm), which includes both UV-A and UV-B rays. The proprietary nano-enabled formula is applied to glass easily, according to the company.
The company states its MetaShield400 formula blocked 99.9 percent of all UV-A and UV-B rays while maintaining 91 percent optical clarity in lab testing. In the company’s additional independent testing, the MetaShield400 coating was exposed to the two-year equivalent of accelerated solar UV exposure using the ASTM Standard of G155 for Extended UV Exposure, and the coating successfully protected multiple glass samples without noticeable yellowing.
