Abstract:

A paint formulation can include an inorg. oxide-based pigment and an org. binder. The org. binder can be irreversibly converted to an inorg. binder upon curing of the paint formulation at a temp. greater than 200° C. The oxide-based pigment and/or the paint formulation itself can have an absorptivity of at least 80% with respect to the AM 1.5 spectrum. The paint formulation can also include at least one org. solvent, an inorg. filler, and/or at least one additive. Such paint formulations may be stable at high temps. (e.g., 750° C.) and can be used as solar-radiation-absorbing heat-resistant coatings for components of a solar tower system. [on SciFinder(R)]
