UV attack by sunlight can be prevented by adding UV stabilizers to polymeric materials.
Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_degradation Consider UV exposure when designing exterior applications, such as window seals and high-voltage line insulators, or items that will be exposed to UV sterilization processes.
LSR is inherently UV resistant and will not degrade when exposed to UV.

This laser enhancement additive works by converting visible, UV or IR laser light energy into thermal energy, creating surface marks that contrast the color of resin material.
Cesa Laser Marking solutions not only contain a laser marking additive but also deliver a part’s color and can include other performance enhancing additives such as those for scratch or UV resistance.
