High-Accuracy Emissivity Data on the Coatings Nextel 811-21, Herberts 1534, Aeroglaze Z306 and Acktar Fractal Black

The Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt determined the directional spectral emissivities of several widely used black coatings: Nextel 811-21, Herberts 1534, Aeroglaze Z306 and Acktar Fractal Black. These are and were often applied in different industrial and scientific applications. The measurements are taken angularly resolved over a range from \(10{^{\circ }}\) to \(70{^{\circ }}\). They cover the temperature range typical for the application of the respective coating and a wide wavelength range from \(4~\upmu \hbox {m}\) to \(100~\upmu \hbox {m}\). The respective directional total emissivities and hemispherical total emissivities are given as well. The measurements were taken under vacuum at the reduced background calibration facility to achieve low uncertainties and avoid atmospheric interferences. Additionally, some measurements were taken with the emissivity measurement setup in air.
