An Investigation of Infra-Red Reflecting Paints

Abstract

The object of the study was to compare infra-red reflecting deck paints against the Bureau's standard formula 20F deck paint in order to determine the temperature differences their use would make in the compartments under the weather deck. The foregoing was modified after a conference to determine the temperature of the panels only to find out whether any lower temperature resulted by the use of infra-red reflecting paints rather than the Bureau's standard formula 20B deck paint.
