Abstract: The present invention relates to a polyamide-based composition used for the manufacture of moulded components exhibiting high resistance to attack by light and/or weathering. The invention more particularly relates to compositions comprising a thermoplastic matrix based on semi-crystalline polyamide, a black pigment and optionally reinforcing fillers. This composition is characterized by the presence of thermally stabilizing additives, in combination with a black pigment comprising at least one black pigment of inorganic origin and with at least additives which decrease the effect of radiation on the degradation of the polymeric matrix. The compositions of the invention exhibit improved stability in their properties under the effect of light and/or weathering, for example similar to that of polyester.
