In their recent papers, Hoyle and Wickramasinghe (1988, 1989) and Hoyle et al. (1990) argued that iron whiskers condensing in supernovae could be expelled from entire galaxies to become dispersed over cosmological distance scales and to generate a cosmic microwave background by thermalizing optical and NIR radiation from stellar sources. In this paper, the effect of H2O-ice mantles on infinitely long cylindrical metallic whiskers is investigated using the rigorous Kerker-Matijevic (1961) formulae. It is shown that ice coating does not significantly alter the cosmologically relevant properties of uncoated metallic whiskers.
