Laser absorber

I need a black paint that will withstand high peak power laser pulses (>10 MW/cm2) without ablating or burning.

I have tried aquadag type materials but they are not very robust. Any help would be appreciated.

I am also looking for such a paint to absorb laser. Have you found it? If so, could you inform of it to me please?
