Radiator materials

Our low solar absorptivity, high emissivity radiator materials keep spacecraft cool in high radiation environments.

The right degree of solar reflectivity.

Our spacecraft radiator materials are metallized substrates (typically FEP) made with aluminum or silver depending on the required degree of solar reflectivity. We also offer an aluminized DuPont™ Kapton® film with an SiOx overcoat tuned to specific emissivity ranges. Contact our engineers for help in selecting the right radiator materials to keep your spacecraft protected.
