Does this product have uv blockers so that it can be applied on a carport and will not yellow?

No, the directions state specifically not to use it on a carport as it will yellow.

You have to look carefully at the label. The product pictured here does not have the uva/uvb protection. But they have a very similar product that looks identical except it has an orange 50 (SPF) on the label and it does have the uva/uvb protection. I actually emailed the company to confirm they are still making it because it is getting harder to find.

As of now, there isn't any top coat that is really great. Pretty much any quality automotive clearcoat already has UV protection. Some has more than others. However, even with the best it won't keep this pigment from fading in the sun. 2-3 layers of clear is the normal. If you start getting too much paint it can/will wrinkle the finish.

This is about as clear as varnishes/urethanes get. It will slightly yellow the wood whenyou apply it, but not very mutch at all, and it will NOT get more yellow over time like most polyurethanes do. I don't like the yellowed look, and very happy with this product. I have used it on both maple and walnut with good results.

Yes it does. They are frosted and will protect against the UV Rays just as well as Amber, Green, or any other color.

After owning the product for several years in Arizona sun, the plastics have cracked and crumbled. We ended up putting heavy bricks on the metal frame. I would suggest that the plastics did not have UV protection.

No I dont think it does. I think it is just the fabric itself that has some measure of UV protection. I have had some of these us for 5 or 6 summers now and they are holding up well - and the UV here in Albuquerque (mile high altitude) are intense. They block most, but not all, sunlight which would leave plenty to grow anything here, even say flowers.

No idea. But I know it doesn't yellow if you're NOT using a tanning bed (always a healthier option).

It appears that I have a cheaper model than the one you are looking at. The specs on mine do not mention a UV coating. However, my unit has been on the dash of my van for 2 1/2 months with no problems and no dulling of its surface. UV coatings are baked onto the surface and should last for the life of the product. Hope this was some help to you.

I have only used the Waterstop with UV protection. I have used it on both light and dark leather handbags. The light one I have is a bright yellow. I noticed no difference in the color after application.

According to Envirotech it will yellow in sunlight. You can coat it with Krylon clear UV protection to prevent the yellowing.

Yes they do, and are available on the actual UV Blocker website. http://www.uv-blocker.com/umbrella-holders.html

If the product does actually block 99% of UV rays as stated, then it should block the vast majority of fading from occurring. Any light can eventually fade color, especially if the item is in full direct sun the entire day. However, UV light is the primary cause of this fading. A product that blocks all but 1% of UV light from penetrating should greatly reduce fading. No product can block all fading of a product left in the light, and any fading that would occur would be minimal and take place over decades. If it's valuable art that you will keep forever, I'd make sure it's not in direct sun at all. If it's out of direct sun, then this product should keep it safe from reflected UV quite well. I installed this product to stop wood from fading, but haven't had it on long enough to know if it actually works. I'm just speaking from the general science end of things. Hope this helps some.

Yes, this has UVA/UVB protection. Not greasy. Recommended by my dermatologist to prevent skin cancer.
