Here's a long list with ior values you can use whenyou create various materials and liquids and muchmore. This is a compilation of various ior lists

scattered all around the web, so there may beduplicates in the list but they're there forcomparison purposes and so you can pick either iorvalue that fits your specific needs.

I hope this long list will be useful for someone..
