TMJ-810-ICY


TMJ-810-ICY Yellow Paint/Coating for Handrails and Signage on Spacecraft

TMJ-810-ICY is a developmental conductive inorganic yellow thermal control paint for use on spacecraft and satellite surfaces exposed to the deleterious effects of the space environment.  This material provides high color contrast, atomic oxygen protection and surface charge dissipation for spacecraft and satellite EVA handrail applications.  This paint was designed to be deposited onto complex surfaces with minimal difficulty or environmental impact to form a coating that maintains optical and electrical properties when exposed to the space environment.

The table below lists the optical and application parameters of cured TMJ-810-ICY.
