LuciteLux® Museum Grade is a specialty acrylic sheet made to offer the maximum protection possible from harmful UV light.
This sheet filters out 98% of damaging UV light, which causes fading and decomposition of photos, artwork, and exhibits. Visible light ranges between the wavelengths of 400 to 700nm, while UV light is in the 200-400nm wavelength. For maximum protection, it is necessary to block light between the wavelengths of 200-400nm, but let light through between 400 and 700 for the material to be transparent.
