Starlite

Properties

Material Characteristics

Although it is originally a paste that would coat other materials, it is also made into a stiff polymer that makes utilizing it in construction simpler. It's usually dark in color, black or gray, with a matte finish.

Physical & Chemical Properties

The coating itself, when mixed properly, can resist temperatures up to 10,000 degrees Celsius. As a polymer board or shield, that resistance is reduced to just under 7,000 degrees Celsius.

Compounds

It is a 21 ingredient compound, including borates, ceramic shards, and compressed red stones. The exact source and equilibrium of all of these ingredients are kept a secret from the public.

Origin & Source

The Ward Estate reintroduced Starlite in 2022, producing it in Germany in order to make sure it was authorized under the stringent standards of the European Union. Only 2 production facilities for the material exists. The material is so expensive that despite it's fame, it is not utilized on a regular basis.

Life & Expiration

The paste loses it's full ability to protect against heat after 20 years. The polymer boards have a longer shelf life, usually sold with a 65 year warranty that excludes any holes or other indents mad in order to attach the Stalite to whatever structure it is bieng added to.

History & Usage

History

You can find the elusive beginning history of starlite from it's wikipedia page.
In 2020, the Ward Estate, managed by Maurice Ward's surviving daughters, began to collaborate in secret with HEXPOL TPE GMBH in order to make a longer lasting, more viable version of the starlite recipe that their father had created. Within a year they were testing the strength of the recipe and it's time frame. By June of 2022, the subsidiary Starlite Solutions (Starlite-Lösungen in German) was announced and began to fulfill orders from wealth defense contractors and independent nations across the globe.
In 2104, the company HEXPOL TPE GMBH famously proclaimed that they would not sell their production rights to Amazon, Incorporated after receiving a generous offer for only Starlite Solutions. Amazon responded with a denial.

Discovery

Exact date unknown but assumed between the 1970s and early 1980s by Maurice Ward.

Everyday use

Fortifications, specifically the exterior of bunkers and occasionally defense vehicles. Most famously used to help with the multi-layered defense construction for The Sheild of Happiness .

Manufacturing & Products

The basic paste, which is not used as much because of the necessity to have even coasting, is used for small applications, including safes and transport vehicles. The polymer boards produced have the most use, typically for the construction of vulneralbe buildings or military vehicles.

Type

Polymer

Color

Typically a dark dull gray or stark black.
