Lakeland Air-Purifying Paint vs The Rest
Lakeland Invented Air-Purifying Paint 32 years ago. When others use light-reliant Titanium Nanoparticles, Lakeland uses Natural ZLT for Certified results - Just Ask - and The Royal Society warns that photocatalytic types actually emit Carcinogenic Formaldehyde and Nanoparticles into the air ! So see how Lakeland compares below.
ZLT?
VOCs?
24-7?
means correct
means not = not found on the UK website, unclear or not stated or not current, or not valid - as of 3rd August 2026.
What these claims mean
- Natural ZLT?
- The paint purifies the air using natural ZLT, certified for purity, rather than Titanium nanoparticle photocatalysts or reactive chemicals - with no nanoparticles and no emissions.
- ZAPs - VOCs?
- The paint removes Volatile Organic Compounds as a group, not just one single targeted VOC. Lakeland removes 95 to 98% of VOCs (certified) and NOX.
- Works 24-7?
- The paint keeps working day and night. Photocatalytic paints that rely on Titanium nanoparticles only work in bright light ie sunshine.
In contrast, Lakeland is unique.
- It removes 95 to 98% of VOCs (certified) and NOX (pm2.5).
- Uses natural ZLT, no nanoparticles, no emissions.
- Works 24/7, day and night.
The problem with nanoparticle paints
Some brands use reactive chemicals, which only target one specific VOC.
Titanium nanoparticles work in bright light only and are found to produce some very harmful by-products.
The Royal Society of Chemistry warning
The Royal Society of Chemistry warned that these "smog-eating" nanoparticle paints were found to give off carcinogenic formaldehyde and to release nanoparticles into the air.

Note: Graphene, lime and cement paints do not remove VOCs or purify the air.
