As far as the "non-" you might look at
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyvinylidene_fluoride#Safety...
"PVDF is widely considered safe and ubiquitous used for water treatment,[24] the food industry, and biocompatible devices like hernia meshes or internal devices.">
They did say that the material didn't degrade over the course of their testing, but of course that's only a year or so.
> the coating withstood the challenging test of the harsh Australian sun, and showed no signs of degradation over the six months.
Real-world optimal would be 25+ years - in environments with acid rain, bat/bird droppings, hailstones, heavy smog, ice dams, 65° C summers, and several other sorts of hazards.
(Yes, that's a ridiculously big ask. OTOH, the planet we're stuck on is starting to char. And workable Planet B's are looking extremely scarce):
So "blocks" is a poor word choice - tarpaper will block 97%+ of light.
I see nothing about the cost / durability / toxicity of the new paint-ish coating. Hopefully that's "low" / "very" / "non-".
