I'll just pour it all on me so I can go in the desert and not get hot at all :D

[@joen5000]

Is this paint already available for purchase?

[@pfoxhound]

Barium sulfate.

[@CenobiteBeldar]

Is Dan Riskin's shirt vanta black? lol

[@kimlibera663]

The thing is this: supply. I doubt there are enough components to go around the world.

[@annemarienordb3078]

can this be bought any place ?

[@jamesr4208]

How does the cooling effect of this paint in bright sunlight compare to a roof in shade provided by trees? The cooling effect may be great in summer but does it raise your heating bill in winter?

[@3091752]

Most engineers will tell you that in building a modern build right and insulate right or at least you depend on insulation not solar light for home heating also their to many draw back on trees that that cover your home from limbs to algae

Wow

[@mistaowickkuh6249]

I don't get why this isn't available all over the place already. Is Vice Dean Leybourne lobbying against it?

[@1framistan]

I know why the super white paint is not available everywhere. It is the chemical BARIUM SULFATE. Same thing that was in BABY POWDER which was banned due to cancer concerns. However, the chemical is safe according to other videos I watched.

[@mistaowickkuh6249]

@@1framistan no my dude. BaSO4 is used in gi tract and gut screening. You basically drink a slurry of it to make your entire tract visible and it's excreted without being absorbed at all. It's not a new compound at all.
