Eighteen hundred square feet of aluminum foil were coated with thickness-sensitive selective paint. The feasibility of a high speed, large-scale roller coating technique was demonstrated. Coating thermal stability, weathering and humidity resistance, and effects of pigment particle size on coating optical properties were studied. Thickness-insensitive paint with urethane binder was evaluated. A medium scale (1 kg) of thickness-insensitive paint solution was prepared which achieved an ..cap alpha../sub s/ of 0.90 and epsilon of 0.35.
