NEW LOCATION FOR TECH LINE COATINGS, INC.

We closed escrow on a new headquarters building (Western) in Murrieta, Calif. The new building will house our Primary offices, Sales, Marketing, R&D as well as serve as a shipping center for a large portion of the country. We will continue to maintain an office and warehouse at our current Midlothian, TX location as well.

We will not be fully moved into our new building until after the first of the year. Currently, we are arranging for the improvements that are needed for our operations. Until that time you should continue to use the existing address for all correspondence. Our phone numbers will not change after the move, though we will be increasing the number of incoming phone lines, as our phone volume is increasing.

This move will help us better serve our customers needs, as it will allow us to expand our development programs with the additional space we will be acquiring. The new building, will double the area available to us. We area arranging for the test equipment that has been stored at our Texas location, to be sent to the new facility, which will simplify our development of data on both new and existing formulas.

We hope to post a picture of the building on our web site shortly.

Products No Longer listed as
Hazardous for Shipping

Additional testing has determined that the following products no longer need to be labeled or shipped as hazardous. They are; HHBK, MCS, WBX, WBLX, CermaLube, CF85 and related products.

This will reduce the shipping costs and allow for less costly shipment by ground, sea and air. This will be especially helpful to our foreign customers.

FOREIGN EXPANSION

We are continuing to expand our foreign services will the addition of new customers in, Indonesia and the Philippines. We our able to serve customers in this area of the world, with application facilities in, New Zealand, Australia, Singapore, Indonesia and the Philippines.

From Brad at Finishing Line Performance Coatings. Salem, Ohio

Brad had coated an Alcohol motor using TLML and CBC2 for the pistons. The motor suffered a failure, unrelated to the coatings. It got so hot that a portion of the aluminum, between the cylinders, actually began to melt. It was hot enough that the TLML started to show a little blistering on the piston skirts. However the CBC2 on the piston tops showed no damage at all.

The ability to handle extreme temperatures and still provide a protective function makes CBC2 a "must do" for any competition engine. This is one of the reasons we are seeing an increase in the use of internal engine coatings.

New Coatings

We are currently working on a series of new Water Based Coatings that use NO CHROMIC ACID. At this time we are limiting our development to colored coatings for extreme heat applications. We are still in the intermediate stage of development on a non-chromic Cermakrome. We have overcome one of the major hurdles in creating the resin and are now proceeding with further aspects of this program.

This is becoming necessary as the auto industry (OEM) is requiring zero chromic content. While properly cured Cermakrome and related coatings do not contain hexavalent chrome (the bad stuff) we would like to completely eliminate CRO3 from our formulations.

This project will also open the door for a significant number of
