A YouTube contributor NightHawkInLight
attempted to create materials that replicate the properties of Starlite in 2018.
Under tests, Starlite was claimed to be able to withstand
attack by a laser beam that could produce a temperature of 10,000 degrees Celsius.
Nicola McDermott, Ward's youngest daughter, stated that Starlite is'natural' and edible, and that
it has been fed to dogs and horses without ill effects.
By the time of his death,
there appeared to have been no commercialisation of Starlite, and the formulation of the material has not been released to the public.
Observing that the mechanism that generates an expanding carbon foam in Starlite is similar to black snake fireworks,
NightHawkInLight concocted a formula using cornstarch, baking soda, and PVA glue.
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.
