ITO Coated Aluminized Kapton® Film

Outer surface of MLI blanket

ITO coated aluminized polyimide has optical properties that will result in a warmer sink temperature
compared to silver Teflon™ film or white Kapton™ film products.
The optical properties of ITO coated aluminized polyimide film make are attractive for applications
that do not have high solar heat fluxes. Examples of low heat fluxes are shaded sides of the spacecraft,
highly elliptical orbits with long eclipses, or deep space missions. ITO coated Kapton™ film is an
excellent option for missions that require a wide operating temperature range.

ITO coated aluminized Kapton™ film is a great choice for :

Space side MLI
Moderate α / ϵ applications
Moderately low to high temperature applications
Mitigating electrostatic build-up

Material Properties :

Typical outside surface α / ϵ value: 0.66 to 0.70
