Term: anti-condensation paint

Anti-condensation paint is a specially formulated coating designed to reduce or prevent the formation of condensation on surfaces, particularly walls and ceilings. It typically contains insulating materials, such as microspheres or thermal additives, that help to increase the surface temperature of the painted area. By raising the surface temperature, the paint reduces the likelihood of moisture in the air condensing into water droplets, which can lead to dampness, mould growth, and damage to building materials.

This type of paint is commonly used in areas prone to high humidity or poor ventilation, such as bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, and basements. In Australia, anti-condensation paints are often applied in both residential and commercial settings to improve indoor air quality and protect building structures from moisture-related issues.
