VitriSeal Technology Passes OEM Tests for Wheel Coatings

    DRAPER, Utah--May 23, 2001--VitriSeal Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Liquitek Enterprises Inc. (OTCBB:LQTK), Wednesday announced that its VitriSeal(TM) coating process recently passed OEM tests for coated wheels.
    These tests were performed by Bodycote Met-Chem Inc. at its Material Testing Laboratory in Dearborn, Mich. This facility is an A2LA certified independent testing laboratory that specializes in metallurgical and chemical testing for the automotive industry.
    VitriSeal premium integral coating offers a superior combination of performance characteristics, including:

--	high corrosion resistance, even under the most aggressive road conditions and accelerated corrosion testing,
--	excellent clearness that is not degraded by heat or extended exposure to ultraviolet light, and
--	exceptional abrasion and impact resistance to brake dust and flying gravel.

    These characteristics make it an outstanding alternative for clear-coat, polished aluminum and even chromed wheels. In evaluating VitriSeal, Bodycote used nine stringent tests that are used to measure coating durability by the big three auto makers, the American Society of Testing Methods and the Society of Automotive Engineers.
    These included tests measuring adhesion, resistance to salt spray corrosion, chip resistance and one involving xenon outdoor weathering, as well as others. The tests were performed on clear-coat, polished and VitriSeal-coated aluminum wheels.
    "Passing these tests is a key milestone in our effort to have our coating specified on wheels for the big three auto makers as well as for after-market wheel manufacturers," said Paul Kokx, president of VitriSeal. "Ford, General Motors and Chrysler buy almost 50 million wheels a year, with an after market of roughly 10 million units.
    "This is a huge potential market for VitriSeal, and now we have the test results that confirm the performance and durability of our coating in specific automotive applications. We believe that these results will help open up the polished aluminum wheel market for us."
    In addition to its performance features, VitriSeal has a distinct environmental advantage in that the coating components are mineral-based and do not have any hazardous byproducts from manufacturing such as hexovalent chrome, VOCs or anodized wastes.

    Certain of the statements herein may be forward-looking that involve risks and uncertainties. In such instances, actual results could differ materially as a result of a variety of factors, including the risks associated with the effect of changing economic conditions and other risk factors detailed in the company's Securities and Exchange Commission filings.
