The producer of LLumar Window Film,
Eastman Chemical Company (EMN), and The Skin
Cancer Foundation have entered into an alliance to help educate
consumers on the hazards of the harmful ultraviolet A (UVA) rays on
skin that penetrates through glass while driving. Scientific
research proclaims that car drivers’ left body areas are most
exposed to harmful sunrays, and hence are the most affected.
Eastman Chemical is extending its support to The Skin Cancer
Foundation’s monthly initiative of Skin Cancer Awareness by
participating in its “Road to Healthy Skin Tour” presented by Rite
Aid. The Tour is expected to have roughly 50 stops along the way at
the Rite Aid Stores starting at Hoboken, N.J. on May 14 and ending
in Redwood City, Calif., on Aug, 30.
The tour strives to save lives through education about skin cancer
prevention through all means of sun protection, detecting skin
cancers at the early stage if any, and the need for prompt,
effective treatment. For the detection of skin cancer at an early
stage, local dermatologists will devote their valuable time in the
Tour’s 38-foot RV, where they would conduct the screenings at two
customized exam rooms.
Local LLumar window film dealers will also enlighten consumers
regarding the usefulness of the window film as "sunscreen for your
car” on this tour. The Skin Cancer Foundation highly recommends
driving under a sun protection program. They promote use of high
performance window film for all time protection from harmful UVA
rays.
UVA rays of sun are more harmful than UVB rays as they penetrate
deep into the skin and can silently accelerate the aging process,
cause wrinkles and even skin cancer. UVB rays, however, can
immediately blister or burn the skin.
All LLumar window films offers UV protection up to 99% and acts as
a "sunscreen" - daily sun protection - which applied once can serve
for a length of time. LLumar window films are both of clear and
dark types.
Window films are also cost effective as it reduces the interior
temperature of a car by upto 30 degrees, thus lowering cooling
costs and helping the car to burn less fuel and emit less CO2
gases.
