Steel with coatings containing AgION[TM]-a silver ion-based compound that suppresses the growth of bacteria, molds, mildew, fungi and other microbes-is now being used in the production of Carrier Corp.'s top air handling unit line, the company announced at the International Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration (AHR) Expo in January in Chicago.
Carrier's 39M Aero[TM] Air Handling Unit is now being produced with AK Coatings' AgION antimicrobial-coated steel as an integral material for its pre-painted steel inner liner, and it is offered as a factory option for all Racan-Carrier custom air handling systems.
Also, AK Coatings will host the Second Annual Antimicrobial Technology Conference on Tuesday, May 13, at the Omni Mandalay Hotel in Dallas, TX.. For more information, call 800-820-0900, or visit www.antimicrobialconference.com.
