AZ-3700-LSW


AZ-3700-LSW Low Thermal Emittance, Electrostatic Dissipative Paint / Coating

AZ Technology’s new low thermal emittance paint / coating was developed for use on spacecraft surfaces exposed to the deleterious effects of  vehicle launch and space environment. Design objectives were to produce an electrostatic dissipative low emittance coating with an alpha over emittance value close to one.

AZ-3700-LSW is a high temperature electrostatic dissipative (ESD) type coating, based on a low off-gassing organic silicone type binder, that can be spray deposited with high-volume low-pressure systems onto large complex surfaces with minimal difficulty.  AZ-3700-LSW uses a self priming binder, so that use of a primer is not required.
