The Development and Application of Polyurethane Coatings for High Reflectivity

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present the importance of thermal radiation control in preserving the structural integrity of a weapon system and to outline the history of the investigation and definition of the problem, the research and development involved in solving it and the application engineering in adapting the solution to practical use. Urethane coatings have many desirable properties, show outstanding performance, and for this problem are better than any other coating investigated to date.
