Acrylic photo frame sheets can be designed to provide UV protection for the enclosed photos. UV protection is crucial for preserving the quality and color of photographs and artworks over time, as prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light can lead to fading and deterioration.

Here are two common types of acrylic with UV protection features:

UV-Filtering Acrylic:

UV-filtering acrylic is specifically manufactured to block harmful ultraviolet rays from reaching the enclosed photos.

It acts as a barrier, preventing UV light from causing fading or discoloration of the images over time.

This type of acrylic is commonly used in applications where the protection of artwork, photographs, or valuable items from UV damage is a priority.

Coated Acrylic:

Some acrylic sheets may have a coating applied to them to enhance UV resistance.

The coating helps to reduce the impact of UV light on the framed photos while maintaining the optical clarity of the acrylic.

Coated acrylic is another option for those looking to protect their images from UV-related damage.

Not all acrylic sheets automatically come with UV protection, so selecting the right type of acrylic is important if preserving the longevity and color vibrancy of your photos is a priority.

Acrylic provides UV protection, it might not offer the same level of UV blockage as glass treated with UV-filtering coatings. However, acrylic is often preferred for its lightweight, shatter-resistant properties, and its ability to provide a clear and distortion-free view of the enclosed photos.
