The sunlight that reaches the earth has ultraviolet rays that cause damage to human skin. It is common to use clothes to avoid the scorching heat of the sun, but nowadays the demand for solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) protected clothes has increased to circumvent skin problems. Textiles such as hats, accessories and umbrellas propose the safest protection from ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure [105]. Their UV rays blocking properties depend on fabric types, fabric construction and dyeing technique etc. For this reason, the interest of scientists and researchers is moving towards developing such a dyeing system. Standard test method is applied to determine the ultraviolet radiation transmitted or blocked by textile fabrics. Several researchers reported that dyeing with natural dyes increases UV protection properties of fabric [106, 107].
