Bradford White, Halton Hills, Ont, announces its Vitraglas tank lining with Microban antimicrobial technology will now be a standard feature on nearly all tank-type water heaters. Vitraglas is an enamel tank lining that provides protection from corrosion, while the Microban technology provides additional product protection by helping to prevent the growth of bacteria, mould, and mildew on the surface of the tank lining.
Vitraglas tank lining with Microban is formulated and applied to the water heater tank, head, base, and flue tube, and is then bonded to the steel surface by firing at a temperature of over 1,600 F.
