	abstract = {<p>Some toluene dilsocyanate (TDI)-based polyurethane resins (PURs) for coating applications were synthesized with castor oil and their performance was estimated under accelerated UV weathering with and without a novel UV absorber. Changes in physical properties, chemical structure, and color of the samples were monitored by mechanical property testing, FTIR spectroscopy, and colorimetry, respectively. A stable polyurethane coating was achieved at 0.5\% concentration of additive in the host matrix. Mechanical properties were also retained as in the pristine PUR after mixing. Commercial Tinuvin P and benzotriazole-based novel UV absorbers were found to improve the photoresistance of the PUR coating, and the highest efficiency of the novel UV absorber against weathering was estimated at 0.5 wt\% concentration.(c) 2005 Society of Plastics Engineers.</p>},
