Absorbs EMF.

ADR SOL Walls is a water-soluble powder that turns any painted wall into a passive dielectric absorber. You apply it once. The wall does the rest, quietly, for the lifetime of the paint.

The first patented wall treatment that absorbs low-frequency EMF rather than reflecting it. No grounding needed.

Made in Poland by ADR System under the patented technology of Dr. Eng. Stanisław Wosiński, recipient of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie distinction.

One 160g sachet covers approximately 30 square metres.

The hidden electrical layer in every modern home

Mains wiring runs through almost every wall in a modern home. The 50/60Hz alternating electric field it generates is invisible, persistent and not something most people give a second thought to. In a wellbeing-aware bedroom that background field is exactly the kind of environmental factor a careful occupant might want to address.

Until now the only real options were shielding paints that need professional grounding by an electrician or conductive metal fabrics that block your phone signal alongside the field you wanted to reduce.

ADR SOL Walls is something genuinely different.

A different kind of EMF protection. Physics not metal.

Most EMF shielding paints work by reflection. They contain conductive carbon or graphite. They reflect the electric field away from the wall, but they only function correctly if grounded by an electrician.

ADR SOL Walls works differently. The treated wall does not reflect the field. It absorbs it. The energy is dissipated harmlessly through the dielectric structure of the dried layer.

The wall remains permeable to the high-frequency information signals and it does not need to be grounded.

The Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars effect, in a sachet

When ADR SOL is dissolved in water and applied to a wall, it leaves behind a microscopic composite of hydrated minerals, aluminosilicates and stabilisers, bonded into the painted surface. This composite has an unusual property called high dielectric loss. It is exceptionally good at absorbing the energy of alternating electric fields and dispersing it as harmless microscopic heat.

The technical name for what happens at this microscopic level is the Maxwell-Wagner-Sillars effect. Charge accumulates at the boundaries between the different mineral phases inside the composite, then discharges, then accumulates again, in a continuous cycle. Each cycle quietly removes a small amount of energy from the surrounding electric field.

The wall is not active in the electronic sense. It does not draw power. It does not emit anything. It just sits there, working.

What makes ADR SOL Walls different

Both approaches have their place. They are not direct competitors so much as different tools for different problems. Our consultancy team can help you choose between them or use them together where appropriate.

A meaningful secondary benefit. Mould resistance.

When Dr. Wosiński's research team began testing ADR SOL Walls in laboratory conditions, they found a secondary effect they did not set out to find. The same physical mechanism that absorbs electric field energy creates surface conditions that are unfavourable to fungal growth.

Independent laboratory testing by M&R LAB Microbiology and Research recorded a score of 0 on a 0 to 4 scale for mould and yeast growth on ADR SOL treated paint surfaces. That is the cleanest result possible on the scale (Report 39/2025).

ADR SOL is not a biocide. It contains no active substances. It induces no chemical reactions on the wall. The mechanism is the same dielectric polarisation that absorbs the electric field, applied at a microscopic surface level.

For homes where damp is a concern, or for spaces where mould resistance matters, this is a notable secondary benefit alongside the primary EMF function. Long-term field studies are not yet published, so the effect is best understood as lab validated rather than field proven.

Twenty-five years of patented research

ADR Technology is the work of Dr. Eng. Stanisław Wosiński, a Polish materials physicist educated at Poznań University of Technology. He has spent more than two decades developing dielectric composites that absorb electromagnetic fields without using metal, chemicals or electronics.

His work has been recognised internationally. He is a recipient of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie distinction in Brussels and the Silver Medal at INNOVATIONS'99 in Gdynia, alongside other awards in Geneva and beyond.

The core ADR SOL formulation is protected by an international patent family rooted in PL387274, with grants in the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union, China and Brazil. The Polish Academy of Sciences (Institute of Molecular Physics) has issued statements on the underlying mechanism.

ADR SOL Walls is not a generic mineral paint additive. It is a specific patented composition.

How to apply ADR SOL Walls

Step 1. Dissolve the contents of one 160g sachet in 2 litres of lukewarm water. Mix thoroughly.

Step 2. Leave the solution to rest for 12 hours. This allows complete dissolution of the composite. Stir again before use.

Step 3. Apply to your wall by brush, roller or spray until the surface stops absorbing.

You can use ADR SOL Walls in three ways:

1. As a primer before painting (best for new walls or full redecoration)
2. As a sealer over already-painted walls (best for retrofit applications)
3. Beneath wallpaper or paper-based wall coverings

Compatible substrates: emulsion-painted walls, plasterboard, paper wallpapers, roof membranes and other absorbent surfaces.

For stain-resistant or hydrophobic paints: apply ADR SOL Walls underneath the paint layer rather than on top.

For low-absorbency substrates: prime first, apply ADR SOL Walls, then finish with your topcoat.

Coverage: One 160g sachet treats approximately 30 square metres.

Frequently asked questions

Will it block my WiFi or mobile signal?
No. ADR SOL Walls absorbs only the low-frequency electric component of fields, principally 50/60Hz from mains wiring. It is permeable to the high-frequency information signals your devices use.

Does it need to be grounded?
No. This is one of the principal differences between ADR Technology and conductive shielding paints. Because the mechanism is dielectric absorption rather than electrical reflection, no grounding is required. You do not need an electrician to install it.

How long does it last?
The dielectric structure does not degrade through use because no chemical reaction is taking place. The treated layer is expected to remain functional for the lifetime of the paint surface, typically 10 to 20 years. The effect persists through subsequent paint layers, foil and varnish, so repainting does not reduce performance.

Can I paint over it?
Yes. The dielectric mechanism continues to work through subsequent paint layers. You can apply your chosen finishing paint over a wall treated with ADR SOL Walls.

Is it safe for skin contact and around children?
Yes. ADR SOL Walls has been dermatologically tested by J.S. Hamilton and certified non-irritant (Certificate 460429/22/GDA). It contains no biocides, no hazardous substances and induces no chemical reactions. It is suitable for use in nurseries and children's bedrooms.

Will it interfere with smart home devices, alarms or thermostats?
No. ADR SOL Walls does not block, reflect or interfere with information-carrying high-frequency signals such as those used by smart home devices, alarms, mobile phones or WiFi.

How does this compare to EMF shielding paints?
The two work by completely different mechanisms. Conductive paints like YShield reflect electric fields, require grounding by an electrician and create a Faraday cage that also blocks information signals. ADR SOL Walls absorbs electric fields, requires no grounding and remains transparent to information signals. They are different tools for different situations and we are happy to talk through which is right for your home or project.

Where is it made?
Poland, by ADR System, the original manufacturer working under Dr. Stanisław Wosiński's patented formulation. 

Can I use it on ceilings?
Yes. The same application principles apply. ADR SOL Walls is suitable for any absorbent painted surface.

Will it work behind furniture or built-in wardrobes?
Yes. The effect is generated by the treated wall surface itself. Coverage is what matters, not visibility. A treated wall behind a wardrobe is just as functional as one in open view.

How many sachets do I need?
One 160g sachet covers approximately 30 square metres. For a typical bedroom of around 12 to 16 square metres of wall area, one sachet is normally sufficient. For a whole room including the ceiling, allow two sachets. For larger areas or B2B projects, contact us for quantity pricing.
