    Coatings/materials with low emissivity & low visibility

    I'm looking for materials and coatings that have low IR emissivity and also low visibility. I'd like to have the emissivity around 0.1 or less in the "mid-IR" range from 3um to 5um, and low reflectance and dark colors in the visible range from 0.4um to 0.7um. Any ideas are appreciated.
