| abstract |
The present invention relates to a solar reflective coating composition which comprises: a film-forming resin; a plurality of IR-transparent pigments dispersed in the film-forming resin, the plurality of IR-transparent pigments comprising a first perylene pigment and a second perylene pigment different from the first perylene pigment; and an IR reflective pigment dispersed in the film-forming resin, the IR-reflective pigment being different from the first perylene pigment and the second perylene pigment. When formed into a cured coating on a substrate, the cured coating is off-white or gray in color. The solar reflective coating composition is substantially free of carbon black. The present invention also relates to a substrate having a surface at least partially coated with a solar reflective coating composition and a method for preparing a low weight aerospace component. |
