Invisible coating that makes wood “fireproof”

SINGAPORE -- Researchers at Nanyang Technological University has developed a coating that they say makes wood “fireproof’ while allowing the woodgrain to show through. The coating, about 75 microns thick, creates a flame barrier when activated by fire. When heated by flame, a series of chemical reactions happen, causing the coating to become a char that expands to more than 30 times its original thickness. This char prevents the fire from combusting the wood underneath, as shown in an accredited lab test.

White marks on Acacia dining table

We have a dining table and bench that is made out of solid acacia wood. We are noticing white patches appearing (especially on areas that are used more often). We use table mats and coasters but somehow the patches keep appearing. How can we protect the wood? Can the white patches be removed? Thanks!
