I have not used their product.
According to their web site, the water based poly is for interior use.
They do not mention UV absorbers in this product.
They do offer "Old Masters Spar Varnish" for suitable for exterior
use. This appears to be oil based.
Contact the manufacturer. I am sure they would be more than happy to steer
you in the correct direction.

My usage would be interior - I have mahogany window frames. The sills on the
south facing side of the house really get bleached out. I looked at their
website too but saw no reference either. The person who told me about the UV
protection is a professional house (interior) painter friend but maybe they
don't know what they are talking about.............

Anything that affords UV protection does so by filtering UV light. UV
filters are light yellow. Water isn't light yellow, oil is.
