                    CERTIFICATION OF CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I, Rudolph A. Lutterschmidt, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of
Nocopi Technologies, Inc., certify that

6.       I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-QSB of Nocopi
         Technologies, Inc.;
7.       Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
         necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances
         under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to
         the period covered by this quarterly report;
8.       Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
         information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all
         material respects the financial condition, results of operations and
         cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in
         this quarterly report;
9.       The registrant's other certifying officers and I are responsible for
         establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as
         defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal
         controls over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
         13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
         a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
         disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our
         supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the
         registrant is made known to us and to others within such entity,
         particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is being
         prepared;
         b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
         such internal controls over financial reporting to be designed under
         our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the
         reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial
         statements for external purposes with generally accepted accounting
         principles;
         c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
         and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
         effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures as of the end
         of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
         d) disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
         most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is
         reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant's internal
         control over financial reporting.
10.      The registrant's other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based
         on our most recent evaluation, to the registrant's auditors and the
         audit committee of registrant's board of directors (or persons
         performing the equivalent functions): a) all significant deficiencies
         and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control
         over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely
         affect the registrant's ability to record, process, summarize and
         report financial information; and b) any fraud, whether or not
         material, that involves management or other employees who have a
         significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial
         reporting.
