Long-lasting, Durable Protection

Both the interior and exterior of the steel ductwork are coated by an epoxy film bonded to the metal surface by heat. This clear epoxy coating applied to the outer surface offers additional corrosion protection and a cleanable and paintable surface. Although the antimicrobial compound is only on the interior surface of the SilverGuard™ ductwork, antimicrobial coating of other surfaces can be specified. A translucent blue pigment is added to the coating to indicate what surface is antimicrobial.

The controlled release of silver ions by the antimicrobial coating offers long-lasting, durable protection. For most types of microorganisms, the antimicrobial-treated surfaces will be virtually free of microbial growth in three to four hours — and the antimicrobial benefit lasts as long as the coating remains on the steel.
