SQUID3 Space™ ITO Coated Silver AlphaFEP is a conductive flexible film radiator technology capable of mitigating differential charging and electrostatic discharge (ESD). This product combines the proven thermo-optical performance of Ag/FEP with a transparent Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) conductive coating on the top surface.
 
Also known as Silver Teflon® or Ag/FEP, SQUID3's Silver AlphaFEP is commonly implemented as a Flexible Optical Solar Reflector (FOSR). From LEO small satellites to mega constellations, Silver AlphaFEP is optimized for bonding on wide-profiled structural panels. On-orbit degradation is well-characterized by NASA, ESA, and JAXA in flight literature. Silver AlphaFEP incorporates FEP film exclusively extruded from Teflon® FEP 100 resin.
 
Sample Information and Disclosure
This sample includes one strip of ITO coated Silver Teflon FEP measuring 1.25" wide by 6" long, with 3M™ 9703 Electrically Conductive PSA backing. It is perforated to enable electrical interconnections through the film thickness (the "Z-axis"). Electrical conductivity from ITO topcoat → Teflon FEP → Silver layer → 3M™ 9703 PSA provides a continuous grounding path, safely dissipating surface charge to the spacecraft structure.
