Highly Emissive Surface Coating
Highly Emissive Surface Coating
(OP)
Looking for a way to increase the emissivity of 1/16" sheet of aluminum. I've heard of some coatings I can apply but I'm not sure where to look. Also, do you know of any tapes avaialble on the market which can be easily applied to the surface of the aluminum to increase the emissivity? I looking for an emmsivity of 0.75 or higher. Thanks!

Alternately, you could just anodize the aluminum.

RE: Highly Emissive Surface Coating
anodizing the aluminum will have a limiting emissivity of about 0.6 if quite thick
Sheldahl makes thermal control tapes
need to specify temperature range
do you need specific absorbance requirements?
