Abstract
An improved light stable polyether/polyol based aliphatic urethane thermoplastic elastomer prepared from reacting inter alia a polyol having low terminal end unsaturation and an organic diisocyanate. The elastomer is characterized by ultra violet stabilizer being present in a range of 0.25% to 2.0% at a total concentration of 1.0% to 2.0%, an antioxidant being present at a total concentration of 0.10% to 1.0%, and colorants/pigment being present in a total concentration in a range from 1.0% to 2.05% to produce an elastomer capable of withstanding Xenon arc artificial weathering with DE.ltoreq.3.00 after 2450 kilojoules of exposure.
