QuietFlex introduces an innovative flexible duct that can improve indoor air quality by radically reducing mold and bacteria, while eliminating formaldehyde out-gassing. The inner core of the new AmgFlex™ Duct featuresan active, anti-microbial coating made of silver that interrupts the growth cycle of microscopic bugs that can plague traditional ductwork in warm, humid conditions, the company says.

Formaldehyde-free insulation in the AmgFlex Duct further enhances indoor air quality by eliminating out-gassing of formaldehyde toxins into the air. The formaldehyde-free insulation provides the same high-quality thermal and acoustical performance as conventional fiber glass, while removing a potentially toxic contaminant, the company explains.

All Quietflex flexible ductwork has 0% formaldehyde emissions through the use of John Mansville® 100% formaldehyde-free insulation, according to the company. Available in R-6 and R-8 sizes, the AmgFlex Duct features an exterior gold jacket with a polyester vapor barrier, along with an exceptionally heavy-duty, rip-stop scrim reinforcement.  Biaxial-oriented polyester film makes up the core.  One side of that core is covered by an anti-microbial coating that avoids the use of potentially unsafe chlorinated or synthetic chemicals.  Patented by Agion®, pioneers in the use of silver antimicrobial products, the technology naturally and continuously resists the growth of microbes, the company adds.
