Press Release Summary = MAINZ, Germany, April 18, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- Coattec
Industries, Inc. (Other OTC:CTCK.PK - News) today announced that DiversiPlast has
reported positive test results of aluminum ridge vent samples provided by the
Company\'s German partner, Meinecke Dachtechnologies. Attic ventilation systems in
the U.S. must pass national and local tests specific to the geographic markets where
they are sold, and the testing is administered by ICC Evaluation Service, Inc., the
United States\' leader in evaluating building products for compliance with code.

Press Release Body = The tests are used to determine the NFVA, Net Free Ventilation
Area, according to ICC-ES, per the Acceptance Criteria for Attic Vents and Static
Product Measurement Procedure. These include between 10-20 tests and measurements,
such as dust exposure tests, temperature cycling, weathering tests, resistance to
wind-driven rain and snow, corrosion resistance. Additional local tests of these
ridge vents that are to be administered are the Dade County tests from the
Miami-Dade building code compliance office for wind-driven (hurricane) water.

``We are pleased to see samples of our partners\' European ridge vents achieve
positive test results for ICC-ES approval. Coattec plans to partner with
DiversiPlast to offer one of the only products in the U.S. that have this approval
and of the samples tested, we see immediate market opportunities with two specific
types of special high quality aluminum corrugated roll product that are used to seal
the hips and ridges. These products are UV stable, weather-proof, easy to install
and have excellent ventilation properties. We anticipate that these products will be
introduced during this year\'s Western Roofing Expo in June,\'\' commented Bernd
