LAKE FOREST, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 10, 2005--Liquidmetal(R) Technologies Inc. (Pink Sheets:LQMT) announced today that SanDisk Corporation, (NASDAQ:SNDK) the world's largest supplier of flash storage card products, has introduced their latest SanDisk Cruzer(R) Titanium flash drives featuring the Liquidmetal alloy for its case. With more than twice the strength of titanium and the ability to precision net shape cast the high tolerance part, the Liquidmetal(R) Alloy provides the flash memory drive with the strongest case that withstands scratching, and wear and corrosion.
Three models of the new SanDisk flash drive featuring the Liquidmetal case were unveiled earlier today at the CeBIT 2005 Solutions for a Digital World Trade Show in Hannover, Germany.
About Liquidmetal Technologies
Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (http://www.liquidmetal.com) is the leading developer, manufacturer, and marketer of products made from amorphous alloys. Amorphous alloys are unique materials that are characterized by a random atomic structure, in contrast to the crystalline atomic structure possessed by ordinary metals and alloys. Bulk Liquidmetal alloys are two to three times stronger than commonly used titanium alloys, harder than tool steel, and relatively non-corrosive and wear resistant. Bulk Liquidmetal alloys can also be molded into precision net-shaped parts similar to plastics, resulting in intricate and sophisticated engineered designs. Liquidmetal Technologies is the first company to produce amorphous alloys in commercially viable bulk form, enabling significant improvements in products across a wide array of industries. The combination of a super alloy's performance coupled with unique processing advantages positions Liquidmetal alloys for what the company believes will be The Third Revolution(TM) in material science.
