[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 41446, member: 2806"] I searched Camcoat's web site and the only relevant information I found was: [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000] [I]To give the head a pro-look you also get the black TLTD heat shedding coating on the outside surfaces.[/I] [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3][COLOR=#000000][I]TLTD Thermaldispersant coating designed to expedite heat loss from cooling surfaces.[/I] These are just advertising claims, not technical information, and there's no way to evaluate what they mean. As I wrote in an earlier post, any black coating whatever would increase the emissivity of the outer surface, so would expedite the heat loss due to infrared radiation of whatever heat actually made it to the outer surface. The problem with the above statements is both would be equally applicable to a 1"-thick layer of black asbestos wrapped around the head -- very little heat would make it from the head through the asbestos to the outside surface, but the heat that did manage to get through would be radiated more expeditiously by the black surface than if the asbestos were left white.
