Does anyone have any advice about how to get started with this? Looking for information about the IR reflective qualities of various ceramic materials, at high temperatures, relative to one another. Possible candidates include: Aluminum Oxide Zirconium Silicate Molochite Mullite Someone posted...

Thank you all for your responses. Somehow I didn't see the notice that anyone had replied. "You have considered radiation, but conduction and convection will also be costing energy." Assuming that the walls will be composed of an excellent conductive/convective insulator, what I am...

Which materials would be best for an IR reflective/opaque coating to improve the efficiency of ceramic insulation materials for use in kilns and furnaces, meant for continuous use at up to 2500 deg F? I understand that materials might be useful for different wavelengths of IR, so details...
