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.
