Does cardboard absorb or reflect UV from indirect sunlight? does it go through the cardboard and hit the plastic and rubber items inside the shoe box with UV?

Yep...Vanadium 50 said:Are you reading the replies? It sounds like you are asking the same question over and over.

This is an Engineering problem, I think. What is the permissible exposure level for your valuables? (Essential for a proper answer) Will the lid be fastened / sealed or would it be possible for someone just to open it up and nullify all the calculations about attenuation due to the cardboard. (Thinking practically).gamer87 said:Does cardboard absorb or reflect UV from indirect sunlight? does it go through the cardboard and hit the plastic and rubber items inside the shoe box with UV?

LOL, I should have been more specific. I replied Yep to the 2nd part of V50's statement.russ_watters said:I vote no.
Yes, UV light can penetrate a cardboard box to some extent. However, the amount of penetration depends on the thickness and quality of the cardboard material.
No, a cardboard box will not completely block all UV light. Some UV light may still pass through the material, especially if it is thin or of low quality.
The amount of UV light that can penetrate a cardboard box varies depending on the thickness and quality of the material. Generally, a thicker and higher quality cardboard will block more UV light than a thinner and lower quality one.
Yes, UV light can still cause damage to items inside a cardboard box. While the box may provide some protection, it is not completely UV-proof and some light may still pass through and potentially damage items.
It depends on the type of items and their sensitivity to UV light. If the items are easily damaged by UV light, it is recommended to take additional precautions such as using a UV-blocking cover or storing them in a darker area.
