%X Ultra violet radiation is detrimental to human skin and responsible for various skin diseases that
is now worldwide growing concern for the people. Sun screen lotions, however, considered best
possible solution but its temporary attachment didn¡¯t bring the real impact. The advancement of
nano technology provides a number of techniques to introduce UV protected fabric by applying
certain semi conductor metal oxide. So many researches have been carried out to coat the fabric
using certain nano particles namely ZnO and TiO<sub>2</sub> to improve the UV absorption capacity of material
as well as increasing UPF value to protect the human skin which have been playing a significant
role to provide UV protected clothing. This paper deals with the harmful impact of ultra violet
radiation on human skin, UPF measurement method and UV protective finishing on textile material
using nano ZnO and nano TiO<sub>2</sub> particle.
