Engineers at UNSW Sydney have developed a groundbreaking fire-retardant paint, the first to successfully pass a rigorous Australian standard test replicating a bushfire scenario. Available at select Bunnings stores, this paint meets the BAL-40 standard, signifying its ability to withstand elevated levels of radiant heat (up to 40kW/m²) and ember attack during a bushfire. This achievement enhances protection against bushfires, especially in regions susceptible to extreme fire conditions.
