Other Radiant Barrier Applications
Radiant Barrier Coating
Specialized Heat Reflecting Coating for Aeronautic, Automotive,
Manufacturing, Appliance, Power Generation, Process Piping, and Other Industrial Applications
for a wide variety of industrial applications:
- Low Cost
- Low Weight (less than .001 gm/sq-ft)
(LO/MIT-II MAX, 0.15)
#C 1321-98 for Interior Radiation Control Coating Systems (IRCCS)
LO/MIT Radiant Barrier Coatings are ideally suited for reflective heat and light applications where use of foil-type products can be prohibitively expensive or not feasible. Its excellent adhesion and thin contiguous film build allows applications on a wide variety of substrates and geometries. Easily applied via roller, hand-held sprayer or with automated equipment. Plastics may require surface treatment to increase adhesion and should be tested for compatibility with LO/MIT-I (Xylene). LO/MIT-II and LO/MIT-II MAX have not been found to react adversely with most plastic substrates.
Their high temperature tolerance, low emissivity, excellent adhesion, UV resistance, flexibility, and weather-durability make them unique in the field of high technology industrial coatings.
LO/MIT-II and LO/MIT-II MAX are not suggested for exterior use.
Contact the factory to discuss your particular project and which LO/MIT Radiant Barrier Coating would be ideally suited for your application parameters.

LO/MIT applied to carbon fiber frame section to prevent heat degradation from exhaust system routing on Mazda GTP race car.
LO/MIT applied to interior of fiberglass door panels to prevent heat degradation from exhaust system routing on Mazda GTP race car. LO/MIT has excellent adhesion to most plastic substrates used in automotive applications.
This Mazda race car didn’t use LO/MIT and caught on fire after 23 ½ hours of the Daytona 24 Hour race.
LO/MIT applied to interior of engine cover to prevent heat degradation on Jaguar GTU race car. LO/MIT has excellent adhesion to fiberglass substrates.
LO/MIT applied to plastic intake manifold air duct box on Buick race car. LO/MIT blocked radiant heat transfer from engine, keeping the inlet air temperature lower and increasing engine output.
LO/MIT being applied to plastic cover for GM wiring harness. LO/MIT keeps the wiring cooler and prevents heat degradation of the wiring insulation.
Silicone spark plug boots coated with LO/MIT to extend service life. LO/MIT is an excellent, low cost solution for automotive electrical system heat degradation problems.
LO/MIT applied to bulk potable water storage tanks. LO/MIT is an excellent reflective heat barrier and prolongs the life span of exterior primed steel surfaces.
LO/MIT applied to plastic reflector on commercial lighting fixture. Because LO/MIT has high reflectivity in both the infrared and visible wavelengths, it makes an excellent diffuse lighting reflector while protecting plastic parts from heat degradation.
