Seal Shield Launches World's First Keyboard That is Dishwasher Safe,
Antimicrobial and Glows in the Dark
New Keyboards aimed at reducing cross contaminations including Norovirus and
MRSA

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Seal Shield LLC, today
introduced the SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM) Keyboard, the world's first keyboard that
is fully submersible, dishwasher safe, antimicrobial and glows in the dark.
Recent studies have shown computer keyboards to be a major source of cross
contamination infections.  According to Dr. Charles Gerba, University of
Arizona, "the average keyboard harbors 400 times more bacteria than the
average toilet seat."
    The SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM) Keyboards have been created to help reduce the
risk of worldwide cross contaminations, including Norovirus and the
"superbug," MRSA.  SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM) is made from soft silicon for a
comfortable typing experience.  It is completely flexible and can be rolled up
or folded, making it ideal for mobile applications.   The SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM)
keyboard combines SEAL SHIELD(TM) waterproof technology (Patent Pending) and
Silver Seal Antimicrobial protection, making the SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM) the only
silicon keyboard to be fully submersible, Dishwasher Safe and Antimcirobial.
    Unlike many antibacterial products, SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM) utilizes all
natural, pure silver ions which are embedded in the silicon to create a safe,
effective, inorganic, antimicrobial solution.  The combination of SILVER
SEAL(TM) silicon and SEAL SHIELD(TM) washable technology results in the
highest level of cross contamination protection available in an input device
today.
    The SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM) is also the first keyboard to utilize the
company's new SEAL GLOW(TM) backlight and Quick Connect(TM) features.  SEAL
GLOW(TM) backlight can be turned on in low light or no light environments,
allowing this portable keyboard to be used anywhere, any time.  Quick
Connect(TM) allows the keyboard to be easily washed without the user having to
disconnect the cable from the computer.  Quick Connect consists of a 6 inch
keyboard cable connected to a separate 8 foot USB patch cable. Users can
easily move the keyboard between multiple computers and customize cable
lengths to support their applications.
    "The new SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM) Keyboard represents a combination of the
best infection control technologies.  Never before have so many features been
included in a single input device," states Scott Filion, Seal Shield Vice
President of Business Development.  According to Filion, "There are many
silicon keyboards on the market, but only SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM) Keyboards are
dishwasher safe, antimicrobial, and backlit."
    The SILVER SEAL FLEX(TM) Keyboard sells for $49.99 MSRP.  SEAL SHIELD
infection control solutions are distributed internationally by CDW, CDWG,
Corporate Express, DELL, Insight and other reseller partners.
