Yes, you are correct. However, there are lines with Dyneema cores and UV
covers.
Here are links to two examples that may give you enough info to expand your
search. Besides marine suppliers you’ll find similar options on the Arborist
sites.

Those are not meant as necessarily suitable for your use just examples of UV
protected lines similar to what Manstrant offers but targeted for other markets.

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] Mastrant rope
When I looked into this, the Mastrant ropes have a polyester coating that
provides UV protection, where the Dyneema rope have a finish and a much
lesser degree of UV longevity.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

<<< Why not try some Dyneema rope? A local turned me on to it and it is a
great product. Mastrant also sells their version. Not expensive. and a lot
of sizes rom different vendors. You do not need to go to DXE for
everything.
