An Evaluation of Actinic Blocking Agents,
Abstract
Two actinic blocking agents, one for hot weather use and one for cold weather use, were tested for effectiveness and duration of protection. These materials are specifically designated for use as lip screens for the soldier during field operations. Each material proved inadequate in its ability to provide protection against damage by ultraviolet light. Statistically, both materials proved to be no better than no protection at all, even when tested immediately following its application. From this study it is not possible to determine whether the material is basically deficient as an actinic blocker or whether the shelf life of the active ingredient has been exceeded. (Author)
