Ultraviolet (UV) Rays – Causes, remedies to our Concrete Surfaces
Everyone is exposed to UV radiation from the sun and an increasing number of people are exposed to artificial sources used in industry, commerce, and recreation. The sun is by far the strongest source of ultraviolet radiation in our environment. Solar emissions include visible light, heat and ultraviolet (UV) radiation. As sunlight passes through the atmosphere, all UVC and most UVB is absorbed by ozone, water vapour, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. UVA is not filtered as significantly by the atmosphere.
We know that ultraviolet (UV) radiation destroys both living and non-living structures—e.g. in the form of sunburns, skin prematurely ageing, and materials fading. But even strong, durable structures like concrete will deteriorate and weaken over time with exposure to UV radiation.
So whether you have an old or new concrete patio or driveway, protect your concrete from sun damage this summer to maintain its strength and extend its lifespan. In today’s world we are looking towards high rise residential, commercial, and large infrastructure which is exposed to all the atmospheric conditions.
