(54) | Ultraviolet ray-shielding tube |
(57) Disclosed is an ultraviolet ray-shielding agent for selectively shielding ultraviolet
rays while allowing a transmission of visible rays therethrough, comprising a visible
ray-transmitting binder and extremely fine zinc oxide particles having an average
size of 0.1 µm or less in a mixing ratio of the zinc oxide particles to the binder
of 1/10 to 10/1, and an ultraviolet ray-shielding tube for visible ray-irradiation
luminescent lamps comprising a transparent substrate tube for sealing a light emission
source therein, and a coating formed on a surface of the substrate tube and comprising
the above-mentioned ultraviolet ray-shielding agent. |
