AMJ-600-IR

AMJ-600-IR Red Paint/Coating for Logos and Emblems on Spacecraft

AMJ-600-IR is an inorganic red paint developed for use on spacecraft, satellites and Beta cloth utilized in the manufacture of MLI blankets. A specialized pigment in a silicate binder, AMJ-600-IR can be spray deposited with standard air spray coating equipment or high-volume low-pressure systems to form a bendable organic nonspecular red marker coating for use on emblems, logos, signs etc.

This spacecraft / satellite paint has been thoroughly tested in space, having been flown on the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE). AZ Technology used AMJ-600-IR in coating all NASA logos currently on the International Space Station (view image at lower left).
