Press Release Summary: The Sabreen Group, Inc. announces its Patent Pending
VectorJetT Laser Marking Technology that achieves unprecedented "dark-on-light"
contrast, line edge detail, and marking speed on Acetals, and many more plastics
that have traditionally been difficult, if not impossible, to laser mark.

Press Release Body: Utilizing this breakthrough technology, true "dark-on-light"
marking of Acetals can be successfully used in a far broader range of applications,
even those requiring reliable machine vision and micro-marking for product security
and traceability.

This quantum leap in laser marking technology will assure consistent and permanent
markings on products that require exacting identification and traceability in
demanding markets such as aerospace, automotive, electronics, medical, and
industrial applications.

Significance of the Laser Marking Technology:
Copolymer and homopolymer Acetals (POM), and other chemically inert thermoplastics,
possess highly desirable performance properties for a broad range of industries and
applications including automotive and medical. Historically, expensive ink printing
and surface pretreatments fail to provide long-term field product identification or
safety warning information, particularly when exposed to chemicals and environmental
forces. Non-contact, indelible laser marking is a preferred process in part because
of its capability to code variable, sequential and unique part information.

Since the mid-1990's some manufacturers of Acetals, as well as compounding and
colorant companies, have sold a lasermarkable grade which can yield "light" colored
contrast on dark colored substrates and tone-on-tone. However, the majority of
Acetal products are not dark, rather white or light colored substrates (typically
pigmented with TiO2). Traditional Nd: YAG laser marking incorporating high levels of
laser doping additives produce less than desired detailed contrast quality. To work
around printing/marking limitations, designers are often forced to select
alternative resins that can be more expensive and possess less than ideal
performance properties.

VectorJetT Laser Marking Technology achieves breakthrough "dark" marking contrast on
"light" colored acetal products, as well as "light" contrast on "dark" products. The
result is a far reaching laser marking technology that eliminates virtually all
restrictions when selecting product and marking color, reduces costs relative to
conventional marking lasers, and enables reliable machine vision readability and
micro-marking. "We are excited to continue the advancements in plastics laser
marking which will benefit industry in manufacturing the best products at lower
costs while incorporating six-sigma marking processes" said Scott Sabreen, Founder &
President.

On behalf of SpecialChem Omnexus, Mr. Scott Sabreen will conduct an On-line
E-Training Course on Plastics Laser Marking on October 9, 2007. For detailed
