The Airlite Technology
What if the walls of our homes, offices, schools, and hospitals could protect our health by purifying the air? With Airlite, this is now a reality. Airlite has developed a groundbreaking technology that enhances wellness both inside and outside the environments we live in daily. This innovative approach is embedded in a mineral paint capable of purifying the air, disinfecting surfaces, and sanitizing spaces. Airlite’s ecological and eco-sustainable paint is not only safe for health but also respects the planet, being produced from 100% renewable energy sources.
How Airlite Works
Airlite is a unique technology that functions as a natural air purifier. It is activated by the combined action of air and light. This patented technology utilizes the same physical principle nature employs to clean the air, transforming any wall into a purifier. By using semiconductor technology, Airlite generates electrical charges on the wall’s surface. These electrical charges interact with water vapor and oxygen in the air, producing negative ions that neutralize pollutants when they come into contact with the wall.
Benefits of Airlite
Airlite goes beyond being just a paint; it significantly enhances air quality and cleanliness:
● Eliminates Air Pollutants: Airlite effectively removes pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur oxides (SOx), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and fine dust (PM 10 and PM 2.5) by up to 90%. This purification effect is comparable to that of a forest of tall trees of the same size.
● Disinfects Surfaces: The paint eliminates up to 99% of bacteria, molds, and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, from all surfaces it covers, ensuring a healthier environment.
● Odor and Dirt Prevention: Airlite eliminates bad smells and prevents dirt from settling on walls without the need for filters or deodorants. This makes indoor spaces naturally more welcoming and comfortable.
● Energy Efficiency Outdoors: When applied outdoors, Airlite reflects the warm component of sunlight, leading to a reduction in electricity usage for cooling by up to 30%. This not only saves energy but also contributes to a cooler and more comfortable indoor environment.
Committed to Sustainability
Airlite’s mission is to address one of the greatest environmental challenges of our time: combating atmospheric pollution that increases CO2 levels and contributes to global warming. By offering an innovative, ecological, and sustainable solution, Airlite safeguards the environment, protects the planet’s resources, and promotes human health.
The company’s mineral paint is designed with a low environmental impact, from production to waste disposal. Manufactured in a state-of-the-art Swiss facility that uses 100% renewable energy and incorporates 40% recycled raw materials, Airlite exemplifies a commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship.

Airlite technology is revolutionizing air purification with its numerous accolades and certifications. It holds five international patents and has garnered over 25 global awards, including recognition from the United Nations as one of the top four innovative air purification technologies. Airlite meets and exceeds stringent regulatory standards, such as the French VOC Regulation, where it outperforms CLASS A+ products by a factor of 500. It boasts a near-zero VOC content, being 300 times lower than the legal limit for indoor paints and 400 times lower for outdoor paints, showcasing its commitment to creating a healthier indoor environment.
Earning the Friendly Materials GOLD certification from Spain, Airlite scores the highest with 92 out of 95 points, highlighting its positive impact on occupant health. Additionally, Airlite's Cradle to Cradle GOLD certification underscores its excellence in material health, reusability, renewable energy use, pollution management, water quality, and social equity, emphasizing its comprehensive approach to sustainability.
In the United States, Airlite has received the Green Seal certification, a leading ecological quality label that confirms its rigorous standards for human health and environmental impact reduction. Airlite products also contribute to BREEAM credits, promoting sustainable building practices, and have earned the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD®) certification, which affirms its minimal environmental impact and low resource consumption throughout its lifecycle.
Significantly, Airlite is the only paint certified as effective against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19), with tests by the Scientific Department of the Politecnico Militare di Roma “Celio” showing a 90% reduction in the virus within 15 minutes of contact. Airlite's compliance with the WELL Building Standard® enhances air quality, reduces VOCs, controls microbes and mold, and ensures antimicrobial activity on surfaces. It also meets LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) standards, contributing to building credits in categories such as ecological sustainability, energy use, and indoor air quality. These certifications collectively highlight Airlite's pioneering role in advancing air purification and environmental sustainability.
