ECSS-Q-70-34A, SPACE PRODUCT ASSURANCE, THE APPLICATION OF THE BLACK ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE COATING AEROGLAZE H322 (30 JUL 1999)., The most critical use of paints in satellites is in the thermal-control subsystem. Electrically conductive thermal-control paints are utilized to avoid charging-up and discharges in geostationary orbit. One such paint is Aeroglaze H322 (formerly Chemglaze H322), a proprietary black electrically conductive coating manufactured by Lord Corporation Ltd. Lesonal 01--66050 primer ismanufactured by LesonalGmbH,Germany. The coating is normally used without a primer. Exceptions are in particularly severe conditions such as low temperatures or where the coating is applied on very smooth surfaces (i.e. aluminized side of aluminized Kapton).
