Abstract
A non-black roofing membrane comprises an EPDM rubber; a non-black filler; a UV light stabilizer selected from the group consisting of NOR-HALS of the formulawherein R* is C1-C20alkyl, OH-substituted C1-C20alkyl, optionally C1-C4 alkyl-substituted C5-C12cycloalkyl, C7-C9phenylalkyl or O- or S-interrupted C2-C20alkyl, preferably C1-C12alkyl, benzyl or C5-C8 cycloalkyl especially C6-C10alkyl or cyclohexyl; and a cure package. The resultant roofing membrane provides increased weathering resistance.
