JP Lamborn Co's New AMBlue
Flexible Duct with a New Twist

"The first insulated flexible duct with an inner-core material expressly designed to resist mold and fungus."

If moisture is present in an HVAC system, the potential for mold gorwth exists. An HVAC system may contribute to IAQ problems when not protected against contaminants.

Mold Litigation is high profile and large judgements are driving up insrance premiums. Many insurance underwriters are excluding mold coverage or providing supplemental coverage at higher costs. Specifying "State of the Art" materials by building owners, architects, engineers and mechanical contractors can be viewed as one of the best ways to minimize liability.

Sprays or coatings applied to duct systems can be controversial, as these methods may not ensure coverage of the entire surface area and have the potential to flake off over time.

The current industry test standard for flexible air ducts for mold only requires that the mold does not spread significantly beyond the inoculated area.

Ultraviolet UVC systems are not recommended for use with most standard flexible air ducts.

JP Lamborn Co's UL-181 Listed & Labeled AMBlue is manufactured with a co-extruded film which integrates antimicrobial agents into the flexible duct inner-core itself. This unique film provides antimicrobial coverage of the entire interior duct surface area not attainable with sprays, coatings or ultraviolet lighting, and will not flake off over time.

JP Lamborn Co's co-extruded film was tested by Agion® Microbiologists using test standards ASTM E2180 (bacteria) and ASTM G21 (mold). Testing reports available upon request.

Agion "Nature's Antimicrobial", is based on naturally occuring silver. The Agion silver-ion technology inhibits the growth of odor causing fungi, mold and mildew on the surface of the product and is non-toxic when used as directed.
