A salon in out area broke the acrylic in their tanning bed and went out a bought regular acrylic at a building center not the uv permeable type.Their clients tanned for over 2 weeks until they got so many complaints they were only tanning on their fronts not their backs, that the salon found out what they had done wrong! GOOD THING IT WAS NOT IN THE FACIAL UNIT, THAT GLASS IS A FILTER FOR UVB AND UVC.

Chippp: Your post makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Acrylic sheets used for tanning are of UV transmitting type. Plexiglas is used for windows and made with low -E properties. Plexiglas does not transmit UV. The acrylic is not used as a filter for high pressure lamps. Never substitute the filter in a high pressure system with regular glass. The lamp will emit UVC. UVC is the germicidal ray of the tanning spectrum. It is for sterilization and purification purposes only. UVC kills living cells instantly. If plexiglas were placed on the top of the bed instead of UV transmitting acrylic, the customers would not have tanned on their fronts either. Try not to confuse people with the purposes of filterglass and acrylics.

I think what Chipp was trying to say was, it was a good thing they didn't break the filter glass and him go out and buy just a regular piece of glass to replace it with.
