Need IR absorbing dye which transmits visible.

I am looking for an IR absorbing paint which will absorb at least 75% of the solar IR spectrum as it is received at ground level. It must transmit visible light and be durable up to 110C and affordable because I need many kilos of the stuff now. Any ideas or spectra welcome.
