ROTFLMAO! British hairdresser CLAIMS ...
Live demonstrations on Tomorrow's World and BBC Radio 4 showed that an egg coated in Starlite could remain raw, and cold enough to be picked up with a bare hand, even after five minutes in the flame of an oxyacetylene blowtorch. It would also prevent a blowtorch from damaging a human hand.[6] When heat is applied, the material chars, which creates an expanding low density carbon foam which is very thermally resistant.[7] Even the application of a plasma torch, capable of cutting eighteen-inch thick steel plate, has little impact on Starlite. It was reported that it took nine seconds to heat a warhead to 900 degrees Celsius, but a thin layer of the compound prevented the temperature from rising above 40 degrees Celsius.[8] Starlite was also claimed to have been able to withstand a laser beam that could produce a temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius.

The American company Thermashield, LLC claims to have acquired the rights to Starlite in 2013 and replicated it.[2][3] It is the only company to have itself publicly demonstrated the technology and have samples tested by third parties.[4] Thermashield's Starlite has successfully passed femtosecond laser testing at the Georgia Institute of Technology and ASTM D635-15 Standard Testing.[5]
