Description
A new white colored Kapton has been developed by DuPont. It is available in two versions: Kapton WS (White Shinny) and Kapton MW (Matte White). An evaluation of this material, with different surface depositions, for its use on space applications as thermal control foil has been successfully carried out by Airbus DS in Madrid, in cooperation with DuPont and Astral Technology Unlimited (ATU). This evaluation consists in the measurement of the main relevant properties before and after the submission of different samples to a simulated space environment, including exposure to high vacuum, large temperature excursions, UV radiation, charged particles radiation, and atomic oxygen.
