In the context of Interstate Image, "UV" or Ultraviolet light refers to the part of the sun's electromagnetic radiation that can negatively impact a vehicle's exterior and interior. The definition carries over from the scientific context, where UV light ranges from 400nm to 10nm in wavelength, and is present in sunlight.
The exposure of a vehicle to UV radiation can result in fading, peeling paint, and even structural damage over time. This is because UV light, while lacking the energy to ionize atoms, can still cause chemical reactions—such as breaking down the chemical bonds in a vehicle's paint, leading to color fading and loss of gloss.
Our high-quality vehicle wraps act as a protective shield against these harmful UV rays, much like how the Earth's ozone layer filters out most of the UV radiation from reaching the ground. The wraps absorb and reflect UV radiation, thereby preventing it from directly impacting the vehicle's original paint job and maintaining the vehicle's vibrant look and structural integrity.
So, at Interstate Image, when we refer to "UV," we are considering its potential damaging effects on vehicles and how our services prevent this damage, ensuring your vehicle’s aesthetics and longevity.
