Antimicrobial Coatings For Ductwork: A Long Term Solution
When an HVAC system’s ductwork becomes contaminated with mold, this can trigger allergies and asthma, and cause even more serious health issues for people in the building. Expensive HVAC repair or replacement costs are likely and, when dealing with ductwork problems, this process can disrupt operations throughout the facility.
Silver Bullet AM™ with Agion® Technology is a powerful solution! In a recent study by the University of Tennessee, Silver Bullet AM™ was able to completely eliminate the spread of dangerous pathogens. In another study conducted by the University of Arizona, Silver Bullet AM™ was proven to be 99.9 percent effective against a variety of destructive bacteria.
Just one application provides long-lasting surface protection against a host of microbes that include E. Coli, legionella, listeria, salmonella, and more.
Silver Bullet AM™ for Antimicrobial Ductwork
Silver Bullet AM™ with Agion® Technology contains an EPA registered silver/copper ion antimicrobial compound that can protect coated surfaces from a broad spectrum of bacteria, mold, mildew, algae and fungi. This high gloss, high durability, water-based epoxy works by disrupting the reproduction and inhibiting metabolism of microbial cells.
Two Application Methods
This antimicrobial ductwork coating can be purchased in one gallon or five gallon buckets in clear, black, or white. Silver Bullet AM is also available as a clear HVAC antimicrobial spray.
No matter which application method you prefer, this coating system is ideal for HVAC ductwork, as well as in areas where severe chemical washing occurs, such as handrails, restrooms, food service areas, and commercial door handles. The stable ion exchange process of this product represents a significant improvement over standard organic antimicrobials that dissipate rapidly.
Silver Bullet AM™ is water-based and VOC-compliant, formulated for long-term performance in today’s challenging indoor settings. It can be applied with ease to metal, and concrete surfaces, dries within a few hours (20-60 minutes tack-free), and cures completely within a week.

HVAC Antimicrobial Coating FAQs
Equipment that’s been coated with Silver Bullet has been put through rigorous independent laboratory studies under intense test conditions. Results prove how coatings of this product can withstand extremes of both temperatures and chemicals to continue to perform well by significantly reducing contamination.
Testing has been both rigorous and independent. In these tests, equipment has been coated with Silver Bullet and then studied under intense conditions, both in terms of temperature and of the chemicals involved in cleaning coated areas. Results prove that this antimicrobial surface coating continues to significantly reduce contamination, even under extreme temperatures and chemical use.
Silver!
First, it’s a safe and natural solution, which allows for environmental compatibility while having proven effectiveness against microbiological contamination and propagation, with bacterial resistance, as well. The formulation is also highly durable with thermal stability while also being corrosion resistant—and it also has an effective life expectancy.
Silver! That’s the active ingredient in Silver Bullet’s highly durable and corrosion resistant formulation. Silver is a safe, natural solution with proven success to reduce microbiological contamination and propagation. Benefits of using silver include the substance’s:
- Thermal stability
- Environmental compatibility
- Effective life expectancy
- Bacterial resistance
Silver works especially well because of its ability to inhibit reproduction of organic materials, such as mold. It interrupts the metabolism and disrupts cell wall functions of a number of types of mold, bacteria, and yeast. Plus, the stable ion exchange that takes place is significantly more effective than traditional organic antimicrobials that rapidly dissipate.
This compound has been demonstrated to work within a matter of hours. Once applied, it can maintain maximum performance for a period of years through a controlled release of silver and copper ions via the use of a zeolite carrier. Its application also suppresses future contamination.
This is a waterborne product with Agion antimicrobial compound protection in the formula to protect against microbial growth. A leading HVAC manufacturer, Carrier, uses this coating technology for HVAC systems in hospitals, as well as in schools, restaurants, and other facilities where mold, bacteria, and fungi is a concern. Besides being used on metals, Agion antimicrobial compounds can be incorporated into fabrics, fibers, and molded plastics, with the controlled release of silver ions able to continue to suppress the growth of microbial substances.
