Exhibit 99.1


      Specialty Coating Systems, Inc. and Sono-Tek Corporation announce new
      relationship that partners new SCS Precisioncoat spray coating system with
      Sono-Tek ultrasonic atomizing nozzles.

February 9, 2006 - Specialty Coating Systems, Indianapolis, IN, and Sono-Tek
Corporation, Milton, NY (OTC Bulletin Board: SOTK - News), announced today that
the new SCS Precisioncoat spray coating system will feature Sono-Tek ultrasonic
atomizing nozzles.

SCS, the industry leader in Parylene conformal coating services and
technologies, announced today the launch of its new Precisioncoat spray coating
system. The new Precisioncoat platform provides the industry with leading-edge
technology and programming flexibility to allow for maximum accuracy and
repeatability.

The SCS Precisioncoat is the first spray coating system from SCS with ultrasonic
capabilities and incorporates Sono-Tek ultrasonic atomizing nozzles as the
primary means to atomize the liquid being sprayed. Ultrasonic nozzles from
Sono-Tek have the ability to vary drop size by changing nozzle frequency and are
ideal for applications requiring ultra-low flow rates and thin film coatings.
The ultrasonic nozzles are also non-clogging, and work excellent with the new
VOC-free conformal coatings that are becoming more common.

Sono-Tek CEO and President, Dr. Christopher L. Coccio, stated "We are excited to
be working together with SCS. They have a well-recognized name in the industry
and are known for high quality products, and innovative coating technologies.
Our unique ultrasonic atomizing nozzles are an ideal addition for many SCS spray
coating applications."

SCS President & CEO, John W. Fry, commented, "SCS' new Precisioncoat spray
coating system offers advanced spray coating technologies to our customers
including this leading-edge technology from Sono-Tek, who is considered the
world leader in ultrasonic atomizing nozzles. Our joint development efforts will
allow us to provide a user friendly coating platform with the precision and
flexibility that only ultrasonic spray can offer."

APEX attendees are invited to visit Specialty Coating Systems (Booth 609) and
Sono-Tek (Booth 1185) for more information on these products and other offerings
