AMJ-760-LSBU

AMJ-760-LSBU Skyblue Paint/Coating for Logos and Emblems on Spacecraft

AMJ-760-LSBU is an organic skyblue 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-760-LSBU 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 skyblue nonspecular marker coating for use on emblems, logos, signs etc. on spacecraft / satellites. AMJ-760-LSBU will be tested in the near future for flammability and toxicity requirements per NHB 8060.1C.

The inorganic version of this spacecraft / satellite paint has been thoroughly tested in space, having been flown on the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE).
