Keystone Linings teams up with
British antimicrobial supplier
Key Industries, is a NSW based Australian
family-owned and operated manufacturer.
Keystone Linings, which runs the acoustics,
wall and ceiling lining operations of the
manufacturing arm, have been working with
Biomaster Antimicrobial to develop Key-Guard,
a hard-wearing, durable antibacterial coating
designed to reduce cross-contamination, protect
against harmful bacteria and much more. Key-
Guard is ideal for use on surfaces where good
hygiene is key, such as healthcare, education
and hospitality applications. Key-Guard is
available in a range of gloss levels and can be
tinted to a comprehensive range of colours.
Key-Guard is particular beneficial to use on
projects such as childcare and day-care facilities,
where the spread of germs is usually more
prolific given the playful habits of most children.
Keystone are excited to be the sole
distributor in Australia with the rights to use
Biomaster technology.About Key-Guard
Key-Guard antimicrobial technology is an
incredibly effective way to prevent the growth
and spread of harmful bacteria. It’s effective
against a wide range of germs from food
poisoning causing E.coli and Salmonella to
antibiotic resistant bacteria like MRSA and VRE.
Key-Guard uses silver-ion technology, which
is a natural antibacterial, and as it does not
leach out, it is completely safe to use where
food and water may come into contact with
the surface.
Keystone Linings can apply Key-Guard to
plywood, natural timber veneers and a range of
other substrates including their colour through
Palette Series MDF panels.Where is Key-Guard used?
Key-Guard is ideal for use in hospitals, schools,
age care, public, retail shop fit-outs, public
transport and kitchens.Potentially deadly bacteria can multiply quickly
in these types of places and as such, there
is a risk of contamination being spread from
surfaces and equipment to humans. Those of
us with healthy immune systems will normally
have built up a resistance to common bacteria,
but the very young, elderly and people with
underlying health issues may be at risk.
Whilst disinfectants can be instantly
effective in removing bacteria, after a few
hours the effect wears off and contamination
can occur again. Key-Guard helps to reduce
bacteria growing between cleans and reduce
the risk of infectious bacteria being spread.More information
