Reducing heat transfer of aluminum brackets
Reducing heat transfer of aluminum brackets
(OP)
I perform testing in extreme cold temperatures (-20 degrees C). I use a camera to take video of my experiments and everytime we perform a test, I have to go into the chamber and fix the brackets my camera is mounted on to get the focus right (often takes a total time of 45-60 min inside chamber).
We have to touch the aluminum brackets A LOT (which are very cold) and it takes up time when we have to warm up our hands every 10 minutes because they are cold. I was wondering if there are any cheap spray on coatings to apply to aluminum that would reduce the amount of heat that the brackets are absorbing?
Can anyone give me a clue if this is possible or suggest another easily machineable material with a low heat transfer coefficient???

But really, -20C isn't all that cold, can't you just be a man?

and touching metal soaked in cold air for an hour IS cold. its also a company policy that we cant stay in there for more than 15 minutes.
