A partnership between UNSW Sydney and Flame Security International has produced BAL-40 accredited FSA FIRECOAT paint that could help prevent the spread of bushfires.
Professor Thorsten Trupke, from UNSW School of Photovoltaic and Renewable Energy Engineering, explains how glow-in-the-dark paint works.
While some things glow all the time, glow-in-the-dark paint must be ‘told to glow’ - just like a phone needs to be charged or it won’t work.
