SolarWhite coating on titanium – one of the coatings Irish company ENBIO is providing to keep satellites cool. This is ENBIO’s white thermal control coating with minimal absorption. It is inorganic with resulting high durability and thermal stability. The coating is applied at room temperature and is suitable for titanium, aluminium, and carbon fibre reinforced plastic substrates. SolarWhite's absorption and emission values are highly stable, the coating is resistant to contamination, and no out-gassing occurs at high temperature.
