Durable airstream surface - Mat-faced Micro-Aire® exhibits superior toughness compared to standard fiber glass duct board, It provides increased resistance to damage that can occur from in-shop handling, fabrication, jobsite shipping and installation |
Low resistance to air flow - Mat-faced Micro-Aire® duct board has a smooth interior surface that offers minimal resistance to air flow |
Quiet operation - Fabricated mat-faced Micro-Aire® duct systems noticeably decrease the audibility of crosstalk, equipment noise, and eliminate the sounds associated with the expansion and contraction of sheet metal duct systems |
Will not support microbial growth - The airstream surface of mat-faced Micro-Aire® duct board is treated with an antimicrobial agent specifically registered with the EPA for HVAC applications to resist potential growth of fungus or bacteria on the airstream surface |
Mat-faced Micro-Aire® duct board passes UL 181 mold growth resistance testing |
Cleanability - If cleaning is necessary, the airstream surface may be cleaned using standard industry-recognized dry methods |
Noise reduction coefficient (NRC): 0.85 (R6.5) |
10% recycle content |
Friendlier feel the smooth mat facing creates a friendlier surface for fabrication and installation and reduces exposure to normal construction dust |
Mat-Faced Micro-Aire® duct board is ideal for fabrication into rectangular ductwork for use in heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems in new commercial or residential construction, or for renovating older sheet metal systems |
Mat-faced Micro-Aire® duct board should be kept clean and dry during storage, transport, fabrication, installation and system operation |
