Abstract
An article includes a substrate having a thermal control coating formed of 1 part by weight of a silicone polymeric matrix having from about 3 to about 4 parts by weight aluminum-doped zinc oxide pigment particles distributed therein. The article may be either relatively thick or flexibly thin, and the coating may be greater than 0.0015 inches thick so as to have a low solar absorptance. The coating has an absorptance of about 0.2-0.3 and an emittance of about 0.9, and is sufficiently electrically conductive to dissipate electrostatic charges.
