Properties

Under tests Starlite withstands attack by a laser beam producing a temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius. Live demonstrations on Tomorrow's World and BBC Radio 4 showed that Starlite could keep an egg cold even under 5 minutes of blowtorch attack, and would also prevent a blowtorch from damaging a human hand.

Commercialization

Ward has allowed various organizations such as the Atomic Weapons Establishment and ICI to conduct tests on samples, but he has not allowed them to retain samples for fear of reverse-engineering. With additional demands of 51% profits from commercialization, which may have hindered Starlite's takeup.[citation needed]
Though Ward has claimed discussions with various organizations such as NASA, as of May 2009 there appears to have been no commercialization of Starlite. Tests have shown that Ward's discovery could revolutionize many areas such as defense, space exploration, personal safety and aviation.[citation needed]
Composition

Starlite's composition is a closely-guarded secret, but it is said to contain a variety of (organic) polymers and co-polymers with both organic and inorganic additives, including borates and small quantities of ceramics and other special barrier ingredients — up to 21 in all. Perhaps uniquely for a thermal and blast-proof material, it is not wholly inorganic but up to 90 percent organic. [1]

This has all the tell-tale signs of a fake. Refuses to patent it, because someone will copy his formula. Refuses to allow people to have samples, because they'll reverse engineer it.

he did a LIVE demonstration, you can't fake that right?!?!?!
 
I thought you only had 1 year to file for a patent after revealing the product.

So now if someone were able to reverse engineer it, they could produce it free and clear without paying him a dime, no? If it's real, he got greedy and shot himself in the foot on this one.
 
that's a bunson burner. it doesn't get nearly as hot as a blowtorch. --you can't weld with a bunson burner.

Hell, If I could weld with the burners in my lab this place would have been a disaster a long time ago. 😛

How hot does a flame need to get to cook an egg, zinfamous?
 
That is a freakin burner that I used in chem class. Takes a few minutes to melt glass so definetly not something you can weld with. To weld you need something that can melt METAL in a few seconds. Fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake fake. Get the point?
