CHICAGO — Steel with coatings containing AgION™, a silver ion-based compound that is designed to suppress the growth of bacteria, molds, mildew, fungi and other microbes, will be used in the production of some of Carrier Corporation’s air-handling units, according to the company.
The move comes as part of a new relationship with AK Coatings Inc., which was announced during an event hosted for more than 800 Carrier customers attending the 2003 Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigerating Exposition (AHR Expo) in Chicago.
