USE SUNSELECT FOR YOUR GARMENTS

The SunSelect fabrics are scientifically developed so they selectively filter ultraviolet sunrays for safer tanning. The SunSelect fabrics differ from traditional sun protection products because the substances do not contain harmful chemicals. The UV-B protection is integrated in the fibers. This is achieved by using extremely small openings in the fabric. These openings are made in such a way that no flashy designs are needed to hide the transparent nature of the material. Because we do not work with chemical additives, the protection cannot be washed out. This ensures long lasting effect. The SunSelect substances therefore always retain their effectiveness. SunSelect fabrics are globally patented fabrics, so you know your competition wil not be able to copy these distinct features of your products when you use SunSelect for production of your garments.

BECOME A SUNSELECT DEALER

Suntan Beheer B.V. is a company based in The Netherlands and was one of the first companies to look for solutions for Tan-Through clothing. After a long process Suntan Beheer B.V. developed an innovative concept of tan-through fabrics called “SunSelect”. This high-tech fabric allows tanning of the skin, while it selectively filters ultraviolet sunlight to achieve a safer tanning. We deliver our tan-through fabrics to customers all over the world. Our fabrics and our experience in the clothing industry make us a unique partner for manufacturers of swimwear, burqa, outdoor clothing, cycling clothing, sportswear, leggings and all kinds of clothing that are worn close to the body. If you want to design clothes made from one of our fabrics, do not hesitate to contact us. We are happy to advise you on all aspects relating to the correct processing and application of the fabrics.

We would like to offer you fabrics that allows you to make clothing (such as for example: swimming, sports, casual wear, burkini’s, kerchiefs, etc) with almost magical properties. The fabrics used for this are SunSelect fabrics, which act as a UV sunscreen and are made of a special polyester or polyamide yarn and a different yarn, such as cotton, tencel, coolmax, bamboo or lycra.
The special polyester or polyamide yarn has a property that blocks most of the burning UV-B rays, but allows a sufficient percentage of the browning UV-A sunrays. The SunSelect fabrics work like a suncream.
No, the SunSelect fabric has been knitted in a very special way so that a small percentage of the UV-B sun rays pass through the tiny openings between the stitches. The wearer needs this small percentage to get a tan.
No! Because the SunSelect fabric works like a suncream, the use of suncream under the garment is not recommended. Please note: protect your skin with suncream in places that are not covered by the SunSelect fabric.
No! Because the SunSelect fabric works like a suncream, the use of suncream under the garment is not recommended. Please note: protect your skin with suncream in places that are not covered by the SunSelect fabric.
No! We have established that since only a small percentage of the UV-B sun- rays reach the skin, the skin is not burnt or damaged and thus there is no peeling or blistering. On the contrary, not only that the skin does not show flakes, we have established that a UV-A tan has a longer lifespan than when the tanning is effected by the sun, either unprotected or with the use of a sun lotion
In the E.U., under the supervision of Suntan Beheer BV, every production is inspected and tested for its effectiveness.
