AZIO, the company that created the popular Retro Classic Line, announced today the Antimicrobial & Waterproof Product Line, which includes keyboards and mice. Building from the success of our Large Font keyboards, we’ve taken account of the ongoing situation with COVID-19, and added features to combat these concerns.
As COVID-19 grips the world, the need for health and safety have grown immensely. As a result, the standards for tools are evolving to meet these needs. For those who work in medical, industrial, or food services where dirt, liquids or germs are a concern, antimicrobial products reduce the risk of cross infection by inhibiting the growth of bacteria on the product. Even for those outside of these industries, the potential for exposure has increased significantly, and the ability to wash an item is more important than ever.
At AZIO, we created the new Antimicrobial & Waterproof line to help mitigate these health concerns. Each product is crafted with an antimicrobial agent to protect the product against the growth of harmful germs and bacteria. The silver ions in the antimicrobial agent have an affect on a wide range of microbes including gram-negative bacteria, gram-positive bacteria, and molds. By creating an inhospitable environment for microorganisms, antimicrobials provide product protection with additional benefits including heat resistance, sustainability, and safety.
For an additional layer of safety, the products are also waterproof and washable. In our daily routine, we use our hands to do everything, and that is the reason why health officials consistently remind us to wash our hands. For the times we forget, having a product that can be washed, sprayed, and cleaned is pragmatic in keeping us safe.
Rated at IP66, the newly crafted housing seals the product’s electronic board to protect it from water, spills, oils, dust, and much more. When there is a feeling of potential contamination, users can spray it with isopropyl alcohol, wipe with a strong cleaning agent, or put it in the dishwasher. When accidents happen (and they always do), simply wash and apply soap to clean it with ease. In the end, the best way of keeping things clean and sanitary is to wash them.
