Starlite Paint Provides Passive Temperature Control
Heating and cooling buildings makes 40% of the world's CO2 emissions, this can be slashed to nearly zero, and is a low tech and cheap solution that all countries could adapt.
At least another 41% cut in CO2 emissions can be realised if we convert all houses and industries to near zero-carbon emissions. This does not have to be expensive. The cheapest and simplest method would be to paint the surfaces of all rooms with Starlite, invented by Maurice Ward; this would prevent heat escaping and so minimise heating requirements. As far as I am aware, the secret formula for Starlite was passed onto his immediate family members so has not been lost by his tragic death. Starlite can also prevent heat loss with attempts to store energy with molten salt, and Economy 7 radiators. If we can store all the excess capacity of electrical generation at night then we can cut the number of power stations needed so storage of energy is important. Maurice Ward Information

(This figure assumes that 80% of heating is by gas, and that domestic gas use is 29%, and industry heating is 22% of total energy consumption.)
An alternative to Starlite is Firepaste, invented by Canadian Troy Hurtubise, we were looking for financial backing for lab time so that he could make a household paint out of it when he died, a great tragedy not only for friends and family, but for the environment as well. RIP. As both Maurice and Troy said that they made their inventions out of household products I am attempting to get a government lab set up to recreate their inventions.
If you look at this YouTube video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqR4_UoBIzY
you will find the the likely components are 90% corn starch and 10% baking soda mixed into a putty using PVA glue. There may have been other components as well, because it has been made into a spray paint, and paint. You will need to crack the formula in order to make use of passive temperature control of buildings. You might even be able to improve upon them both.
The solution helps everyone threatened by the 40% of CO2 emissions that buildings causes, and is useful for everyone in or owning a building.
I have long Covid and am unable to do anything myself, but the daughter of the Starlite inventor sold the recipe for Starlite for £1 million, and MIT could either by it, or follow the recipe above to invent something similar at lower cost. Starlite could be used as a paint or sprayed on.
- Reduce emissions from multifamily housing during construction, operation, and end-of-life while addressing barriers to local adoption.
- United Kingdom
- Prototype: A venture or organization building and testing its product, service, or business model, but which is not yet serving anyone
Starlite has been sold to: Thermashield, LLC Company (starlitethermashield.com)
Starlite has not been painted on any building but my email conversation with the daughter of Maurice Ward says it will do the job. She can be contacted at: nicky.mcdermott@hotmail.com. Please be discrete as the inventor of fireputty died in mysterious circumstances.
My slogan is "Making the world a better place" and starlite is a major part of the self-funding near-zero CO2 plan on my website: www.kadir-buxton.com
- Financial (e.g. accounting practices, pitching to investors)
- Product / Service Distribution (e.g. delivery, logistics, expanding client base)
Once the plan takes off other companies would attempt to produce similar materials. The paint market companies would all have to use the product.
We need to have all buildings painted within ten years to attempt to keep global heating to 1.5 degrees C.
- 7. Affordable and Clean Energy
- 13. Climate Action
Progress has to be measured by how many experts are funding the initial project.
The target population is everyone and as soon as possible. This will take experimentation on one building, and then publicising the results.
A barrier to temperature transmission.

We would slash energy bills for clients, as well as shrink carbon footprints by 40%.
- Individual consumers or stakeholders (B2C)
We would have to sell Starlite at a profit.
Starlite recipe has been sold for £1 million so far.
