A polyethlylene composition for use in fabricating films, agricultural films, molded articles, sheets, fibers, and other articles, where resistance to ultraviolet degradation and color formation is achieved. The polyethylene composition will include a polyethylene, tris-(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl) isocyanurate, or an alpha tocopherol as a primary antioxidant, one or more polymeric hindered amine light stabilizers, and optionally one or more secondary antioxidants and one or more acid neutralizers. The excellent UV stability and gas fade resistance (resistance to color formation from gases) is achieved by the above combination; however, the result is unexpected because the primary antioxidants have melting points above the compounding temperature of polyethylenes. This would be expected to create uneven dispersion of the antioxidant, resulting in variable product performance. However, the combination gives consistent and excellent UV and gas fade resistance.
