disagree K. Ganly (X) : With all respect, i have never seen this term used in English, and think it would be misleading, as it suggests a type of lamp.

Pentalite (Emulsion paint)

A specific type of emulsion paint - Pentalite.
Dulux are (of course!) the ones with the leading range.
e.g. http://www.geocities.com/lanka_hw/Pentalite.html

If it specifically means this type of emulsion then use 'Pentalite'. I know in Syrian 'amiyya they use بنتلايت to denote any type of emulsion paint though, in which case 'emulsion paint' would do the job fine....
