AMJ-450-LSG is an organic green paint developed for use on spacecraft, satellites and Beta cloth utilized in the manufacture of MLI blankets. A specialized pigment in a silicone binder, AMJ-450-LSR can be spray deposited with standard air spray painting equipment or high-volume low-pressure systems with the ease of other silicone paints to form a bendable organic green nonspecular marker coating for use on emblems, logos, signs etc, on spacecraft / satellites. AMJ-450-LSR will be tested in the near future for flammability and toxicity requirements per NHB 8060.1C.
This spacecraft / satellites paint has been thoroughly tested in space, having been flown on the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE).
