The aluminum is not used for its reflective properties but for its low emittingproperties. Lo mit is a silver colored non thickness dependent low emissivity paint which may be used in almost any application where infrared heat reflectivity or diffuse light reflectivity is required. Other kinds of radiant barriers combine reflective materials usually aluminium foil with materials like plastic films cardboard and kraft paper.
