Jun 5, 2012
A company called Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. is becoming an increasingly attractive investment option since its recent high-profile licensing deals. As more companies find uses for their unique products, the future looks bright for the company. Liquidmetal Technologies' materials are completely unique, and their future growth seems inevitable.
Liquidmetal Technologies, Inc. (OTC:LQMT) is a small company that is known for developing a revolutionary type of alloy. This alloy was originally discovered by researchers at the California Institute of Technology. Liquidmetal Technologies is headquartered in Rancho Santa Margarita, California. The company markets amorphous metal alloys developed by Caltech, including Liquidmetal and Vitreloy. Due to their unique atomic structures, the alloys themselves have a number of properties which set them apart from other materials. These properties include high tensile strength, resistance to corrosion, and resistance to wear. Liquidmetal and Vitreloy are malleable, especially at high temperatures, which allows them to be formed into complex shapes. This ability makes the alloys a replacement for plastics in many cases.

The unique characteristics of Liquidmetal Technologies alloys give them a number of applications. They are used in many types of sporting equipment, including golf balls, baseball bats, and tennis racquets. Liquidmetal has been considered as an alternative to titanium in the military, medical, aerospace, and automotive industries. The alloys have also been used as a more wear-resistant alternative to plastics in mp3 devices, USB drives, and mobile phone cases.
Apple Inc. tested the viability of Liquidmetal by using it as a SIM ejector tool on some iPhone 3Gs. Recently, Apple has extended its usage of Liquidmetal Technologies alloys into 2014. The alloy is used for small components in iPhones, but there is speculation of a Liquidmetal iPhone casing. The metal's strength, resistance to wear, and smooth texture could give the next iPhone an advantage over competitors. In March of 2011, the Swatch Group signed a similar exclusive agreement with Liquidmetal Technologies, allowing the Swiss company to use the technology in their timepieces.
Agreements with large companies like Apple Inc. are a testament to the exceptional usefulness of Liquidmetal Technologies' alloys. Easy access to information on small companies like Liquidmetal Technologies is the only way to take advantage of their explosive growth. Sign up for our newsletter for more free stock trading advice.
