SPECIAL RECOMMENDATIONS |
||||||
|
·
Water desorption corresponds to a geometrical
shrinkage & a change in hemispherical emittance. ·
Available thickness range from 7.6 to 127 mm;
max. width: 1320 mm. Thinner film may be available soon. ·
Flammability depends on film thickness. ·
Etched by oxygen atoms in low earth orbit at a rate
of approx. 3 x 10-24 cm3/atom. |
