Adherent Technologies, Inc. has developed a new binder for electrically conductive thermal control coatings. The new binder, based on a silicon containing polymer, is resistant to all influences of the space environment, ultraviolet radiation, electron bombardment and atomic oxygen. When combined with a conductive pigment, coatings can be produced that show excellent adhesion, are tough, do not crack or flake on impact, and are solvent and waterresistant. Outgassing behavior meets NASA specifications. The coatings have excellent conductivity and do not charge even when exposed to a high-energy electron beam. Solar absorbance and emissivity data are excellent with alpha/epsilon values better than 0.2. The coatings are currently undergoing space certification.
