Unotron (www.unotron.com), the international market leader and manufacturer of SpillSeal® technology, today introduced GermStopper™ SpillSeal® Washable Corded Keyboard S6000K: a sleek new computer keyboard design with antibacterial protection actually incorporated into the plastic for added safety and a new soft touch for easier typing. Renowned for manufacturing high quality, washable data input and security devices that are easily cleaned and disinfected to mitigate the spread of infection in healthcare, education, commercial and government environments, Unotron’s patented SpillSeal® protection allows keyboards to become fully submerged in water or antibacterial solutions for disinfecting.
“We have made SpillSeal® even more effective, with significant research and dedicated resources powering the introduction of this new technology which is not only exceptional for disinfecting keyboards and protecting them from accidental spills, but also offering users the utmost in antibacterial protection,” says Joseph Carabello, director of Unotron. “Incorporated into the plastic of our new keyboards is an inorganic silver-based biocide which allows silver ions to counteract the molecular process of microorganisms -- more commonly known as bacteria. This causes the harmful organisms to die, lose their ability to infect, and prevent reproduction.”
A powerful, broad-spectrum, inorganic, silver-based biocide is integrated into the plastic of the SpillSeal® Washable Corded Keyboard S6000K. Silver ions are maintained in inorganic matrices to become antimicrobial with very low toxicity levels as well as being non-corrosive, non-flammable, and non-sensitizing.
The integration of silver-based biocides is widely used throughout Japan and is rapidly catching on in the U.S. and in Europe. Silver-based biocides are the future of bacteria-free environments because they can be incorporated into numerous products including but not limited to plastic.
“Antibacterial protection is not the only added feature to Unotron’s new S6000K keyboard,” says Carabello. “Quality and safety go hand in hand on the S6000K, offering the performance you expect with soft typing and a detachable wrist rest providing responsive keys and extra support and comfort when you need it.”
He adds that the fast-paced office and medical environments of today limit our ability to constantly disinfect equipment.
“Our new antibacterial keyboards offer more convenient cleanliness and the comfort of soft touch typing.”
