Hi,

Aramid rapidly degraded by uv light (not only the color;  strengh and stiffness decreases too).

Has "black Twaron"  the same limitations?

Twaron is a brand name for a Aramid fibre, so like other aramid fibres is (without additional protection or additives) succeptable to UV degredation wether dyed black or yellow in colour.
