Los Angeles, CA-October 12, 2009 - MATECH Corp. (OTC Bulletin Board: MTCH - News) is pleased to announce that the Company is currently working on enhancements to its Electrochemical Fatigue Sensor (EFS) Technology, including the development of a long-term electrolyte gel. MATECH's EFS System has proven its efficacy on over 35 bridges in 10 different states. It is currently the only nondestructive method on the market able to detect growing cracks in bridges as small as 0.01 inches.

Another enhancement in the planning stage is to quantify the crack growth rate of detected cracks. EFS now provides a qualitative estimate of the crack growth rate, a quantitative knowledge of the crack growth rate would benefit bridge owners tremendously.

Currently, MATECH's EFS is used to detect growing cracks in bridges using a procedure that requires only a few hours. The electrolyte gel, a key element of the EFS System, has a lifespan of about a week. While this is ample time for MATECH to complete the inspection and locate growing cracks undetected by current methods of bridge inspection, MATECH is looking to offer a system that provides continuous structural health monitoring. Such a system will indicate growing cracks at the inception of damage at critical areas.

The development of a long-term electrolyte gel would enable MATECH to test for cracks in bridges over the long-term, lasting months instead of days. MATECH would offer this enhanced EFS System as part of an overall long-term bridge monitoring system, many of which are being implemented across the country. Typically, these ongoing monitoring systems include video cameras, weight and temperature sensors, and other technologies to ensure vehicle safety and provide the bridge owner with extensive knowledge of bridge status.

This long-term system would open additional markets to MATECH with applications in the construction, shipping, petrochemical, nuclear, and aerospace industries, amongst others.

"We are always looking for ways to improve our revolutionary EFS technology to further broaden its appeal and open up new markets," said Robert Bernstein, CEO of MATECH. "The development of a long-term electrolyte gel will enable us to sell the EFS System as an essential addition to the long-term bridge monitoring systems currently in use across the country."
