Starlite is an intumescent material that is claimed to be able to withstand and insulate from extreme heat. It was
invented by British hairdresser and amateur chemist Maurice Ward (1933–2011) during the 1970s and 1980s, and received
significant publicity after coverage of the material aired in 1990 on the BBC science and technology show Tomorrow's World.
