What ever became of this. Was this proved to be real or fake?

Starlite is a revolutionary material able to withstand temperatures of 10000°C/18000°F ... nearly twice as hot as the surface of the sun ...
Starlite was invented by Maurice Ward and Starlite Technologies is here to bring this revolutionary material to the world.
According to the US Government "Ask a Scientist" website the highest known melting point for any substance is for diamonds at 3800°C/6872°F. Starlite can withstand nearly 3 times more heat, at least for a while... One difficulty in the manufacture of steel is its high melting point, about 1370°C/2500°F, which prevents the use of ordinary furnaces. Titanium melts at about 1660°C/3020°F... If heat is a problem for your company we have the solution that stands up powerfully to fire, lasers, and even atom bombs...
Starlite Plastic has fantastic applications in aerospace, military, and other industries ...
Starlite? That's real enough. A plastic material. You can blowtorch it for two minutes and it's quite cool to the touch afterwards. Disclaimer: my information is gleaned from a live radio test I listened to a few years back.
As to why its not used all over the place - no idea. Perhaps there's a D notice on it. Perhaps its got Asbestos, DDT and Yanomani Indian blood in it. Who knows?
