The present invention relates to the use of an ultraviolet radiation absorbing composition as a light stabilizer for forming artificial polymer articles, wherein the polymer is a synthetic polymer and/or a natural elastomer and wherein the ultraviolet radiation absorbing composition comprises the general formula (I ) compounds, wherein n and m are independently of each other a value from 0 to 20, and at least one of m and n is ≥ 1, and X1, X2, X3, X4 and X5 are the same or different and independently selected from H, C(O)R1 (wherein R1 is C8- C24 alkyl) or a group of general formula (II), where R2 is H or halogen. |
