What Determines the UV Protection Efficacy of Dark Glass Gin Bottles

The bottle and material that is used to create it are very important to protect the gin from the negative influences from the sun. Black glass gin bottles like JINLING Pant are not only for beauty, but a practical method of protecting the gin from light. In this post we’ll take a deep dive into the types of things that can guide a UV blocking decision and present the UVPI results for each type of bottle we tested to protect your gin and keep it tasting as fresh and flavorful as the day it was made. 

Role of glass composition in attenuation of harmful UV light

The quality of glass that is used to make gin bottles is crucial. The glass is made by blending different chemicals and minerals. This blend can influence how effectively the glass blocks UV rays. For instance, adding select materials — such as titanium or iron — can darken the glass and boost its capacity to soak up UV light. That’s why JINLING PAINT Customized product selects certain glass compositions to help protect their gin the best. 

UV protection and the thickness of a bottle in dark glass gin bottles

Thicker glass may block more UV rays. With a thicker wall of glass on the gin bottle, there is more glass to absorb the UV rays or, perhaps, reflect them, shielding the gin in the process. But the thicker the glass, the heavier they can be, and the harder they are to handle. So, outfits like JINLING PAINT epoxy paint have to walk a tightrope to ensure that the bottles remain useful not just for protection, but also for everyday use. 

Effect of Bottle Shape on UV Transmission and Protection

The design of the bottle also affects how UV rays impact and pass through the glass. Some forms may let in more light, while others may block it more effectively. 

Storage and handling of dark glass gin bottles are critical for maintaining the UV-protectiveness properties

And although a bottle of gin may be of the highest quality materials, where it’s stored can impact its protection against UV rays. Bottles should be stored in cool, dark places and out of direct sunlight. This helps in extending the life of UV protection function of the bottle. Improper treatment, (think bottles in the sun), can decrease their ability to keep the gin safe, which can lead to flavor and quality changes. As such, JINLING PAINT coating clear always shares some tips on how they should store and treat their gin bottles in order to get the best out of their experience.
