Airlite® Paint
Enhancing building efficiency and air quality, inside and out
Airlite® paint is designed with advanced patented technology that boosts building sustainability by leveraging its unique properties when applied externally or internally. Externally, its ability to reflect sunlight significantly reduces indoor heat and cuts air conditioning energy use by 15-50%. This heat-reflective quality, alongside its powerful airpurifying effects, mimics the benefit of 80 forest trees over 1000 m², capturing NOx and reducing pollution comparable to the impact of Euro 6 compliant vehicles, without emitting CO2 or releasing toxic materials.
Internally, Airlite® is activated by UVA light and offers exceptional environmental health benefits. It has natural alkaline properties and contains no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), repelling dust and airborne particles. This helps eliminate major airborne pollutants, prevents the growth of bacteria, molds, and spores that can cause severe respiratory diseases, and eliminates odors while preventing dirt and grime from adhering to surfaces, thereby maintaining clean walls and surfaces with minimal maintenance.
Its flame-resistant inorganic composition and low VOC content underline its environmental benefits, making it ideal for settings where reducing microbial contamination risks is crucial. Airlite®’s versatility in indoor and outdoor applications offers a comprehensive solution for enhancing air quality and managing energy costs effectively.
