I've installed some un-backed curtains and have been told that after a few years they may start to disintegrate from being exposed to hundreds of hours of sunlight.
Does anyone know of a product, like UV sprays, that will help protect against this?

You can simply hang sacrificial curtains (muslin, perhaps) behind the curtains you wish to preserve. There's also the distinct possibility that this is pure sales-hype, as I've seen many an old curtain that looked just fine.
In any case, even if you block ALL UV light, that will not prevent fading, according to this site: http://www.fsec.ucf.edu/en/consumer/buildings/basics/windows/fading.htm Most relevant paragraph quoted below.
I didn't see "fabric disintegrating" as a common complaint when looking into this.
