Acrylic is extremely opaque to long wave IR. This is the reason carbon dioxide laser cutters can easily cut through acrylic. It absorbs the 10.6 micrometer wavelength output of the laser at nearly 100%. Clear acrylic is best since some of the pigments/dyes used in colored acrylic can absorb and re-radiate heat at a different wavelength not absorbed by acrylic. This should apply to acrylic fleece material and blankets made from acrylic fibers.
