A method for producing a coating on a surface of a component part or a device, the method comprises obtaining a two component polyurethane system having a Component A and a Component B, Component A comprises a polyol and Component B comprises an isocyanate. Either Component A or Component B or both components comprise a filler. The method includes mixing Components A and B, to form a mixture comprising the polyol, the isocyanate, and the filler. The method includes applying the mixture to a surface of a component part or a device to form a coating from the mixture; and allowing the applied coating to cure. The steps of applying the coating and allowing the applied coating to cure are performed at an ambient temperature, and the viscosity of the mixture immediately after the mixing step is from 10 Pas to 500 Pas at 23° C.

Polymer compositions for making a stabilized polymeric articles that are resistant to discoloration upon exposure to UV-C light having: (i) an organic polymeric material; and (ii) a hindered phenol, organic phosphite, or a combination thereof, with the provisos that: (a) the OH group on the aromatic ring of the hindered phenol is flanked by two tertiary hydrocarbyl groups, and (b) the organic phosphite does not have any —OAr group linked directly to the P atom of the phosphite, wherein Ar represents an unsubstituted or substituted aryl group, are provided herein. Reduced discoloration is associated with the use of specific hindered phenols and the organic phosphites compared to other hindered phenols and organic phosphites, even in the absence of other polymer additives including UV absorbers, hindered amine light stabilizers (HALS), metal oxides and/or barium salts. Methods of reducing discoloration of an organic polymeric material upon exposure to UV-C light are also provided, wherein such methods include the step of adding to the organic polymeric material a stabilizing amount of hindered phenol, organic phosphite, or a combination thereof.
