New fire-retardant paint to help prevent spread of bushfires

A new fire-retardant paint, formulated by engineers at UNSW Sydney, has become the first to pass a stringent Australian standard test that simulates a bushfire attack.
The paint, which is now on sale at selected Bunnings stores, achieved the Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) 40 standard which assesses the bushfire resistance of buildings and construction materials.

Apparently the minimum amount of coats is 3. Can be used inside and outside.

A great leap forward in paint technology. Impressive! But do remember that wind-driven ember attack causes over 90% of all structure ignitions, at least here in North America. Make sure your home and outbuildings are tight. Even a gap of only a few mm say, in the roof, can result in total structure loss.
