This is the one and only paint that's on the market that's designed to actually absorb moisture. If you take Lilypad paint and apply it to the wall, the film will actually absorb excess humidity as it starts filling the room, and then, when it dries, it resets itself by slowly letting it back into the space. So it's regulating humidity, Dr. Stein said.

This paint acts like a dehumidifier for your walls

It looks like ordinary paint, but a new coating called Lilypad Paint has a hidden ability to pull moisture out of the air. It works like a dehumidifier, without the energy use. If it's on the wall in your bathroom, it can suck water vapor out of the air after you've taken a shower. The paint holds the humidity in nano-size pores, and then slowly releases it as humidity levels fall in the room.
