Electrically-conducting thermal-control coatingCoating comprised mainly of zinc and aluminum oxides is characterized by high thermal emittance, low thermal absorption, and high electrical conductivity. Originally developed to protect spacecraft, coating can be used to prevent charge buildup on components in other applications. Mixture is stable under ultraviolet and X-ray radiation and under bombardment by ionizing particles. It can be applied to aluminum, stainless steel, epoxy/fiberglass, and other substrates. When exposed to equivalent of 1,000 Sun-hours illumination, coating remained stable and retained its optical properties.
