One method is through the use of stabilizers that react with radicals created from UV exposure, inhibiting polymer degradation.
The other method is via UV absorption.
CESA Light with UVA present absorbs the harmful UV radiation and dissipates it as harmless thermal energy.

The challenge was to develop a solution that would maintain grip when wet, be non-abrasive to the skin, stand up to UV, allow good adherence to and visibility of the board— all the while, staying true to SurfCo’s roots in both safety and performance.
In response to the tests, Avient leveraged its expansive portfolio of specialty additives to tailor the TPE for enhanced UV resistance and to inhibit mold growth—leading to an end product that would perform better for longer.
Ultimately, Avient customized a GLS™ wet grip TPE that outmaneuvered traditional materials—delivering dynamic hydrophobic performance, translucent aesthetics, non-abrasive comfort grip, and excellent UV protection.

Styrenic block copolymer (SBC) elastomers are some of the most versatile and easily processed materials in the plastics industry.
Most plastics exhibit this characteristic to some extent, but the effects on SEBS/SEPS and SBS/SIS TPEs are more pronounced.
