How UV Scale Film works

To determine the amount and distribution of UV light, the film is placed on the area to be measured and irradiated with UV light. Layers of microcapsules containing a coloring material are attached to the polyester-based measuring film, which reacts when exposed to UV light and produces lighter or darker bluish colored areas on the film carrier depending on the intensity.

The product portfolio consists of three differently sensitive measuring foils, which are divided into two types based on the technology used.

Product types UV Scale Film

Low UV light exposure without reduction filter(1 type)

  • The single-layer film contains color-filled microcapsules and a developer on the UV Scale film.

Medium and high UV light exposure with reduction filters (2 types)

  • The two-layer version has a UV light-reducing filter on top of the UV scale film.

Evaluation

An analysis can be carried out purely visually or with the aid of a digital evaluation system consisting of the FUD-7010E software and a scanner.
