Integral Responds to Questions on Sales Cycle of ElectriPlast™

Integral Technologies, Inc. ITKG ("Integral"), wishes to provide further information relating to the Client Specific Application Development process of its signature technology ElectriPlast™.


In November of this past year, Integral and Jasper issued a joint news release explaining and describing the work that was accomplished in 2007 and the focus for 2008 towards the goal of commercialization of ElectriPlast™.


We are pleased to report that 2008 has begun with an abundance of new customers contacting us and current customers who are now deciding what ElectriPlast™ materials they would like for their research and development tests in order to make business decisions for their specific applications.


One of the most frequently asked questions we get is how does a potential customer get ElectriPlast™ samples and how does this Company decide to use ElectriPlast™ for their products?


When a Company reads about ElectriPlast™ in one of several industry magazines which focus on material science and or manufacturing they can contact us in several ways. The most common is through our web-site that has a contact page or by our Jasper sales team who target specific industries. At this time we always contact the individual personally and set up a conference call to see what their needs are and how ElectriPlast™ will suit their product.


A non-disclosure agreement (NDA) that has been prepared by our attorneys Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates and Ellis is then forwarded to the customer for their approval. There are instances particularly from large multi-national companies that will only use their NDA which is fine but often takes time as the attorneys on both sides then must agree on the interpretive language.


The NDA in place, a conference call is organized and often leads to broader in-house introduction where more development teams are informed of our technology, enhancing the development of ElectriPlast™ uses. Discussions are based on their respective product(s), the ElectriPlast™ technology, the uses, the benefits, our manufacturing capabilities, and how we can best to suit the customers needs and wants.


At this time we will share the ElectriPlast™ product specifications in order to help the customer decide on a specific polymer blend. The sales team will now provide samples of ElectriPlast™ plaques and pellets and in specific cases we will also send various blocks ranging in size from solid hot dog shapes to solid 1 lb. frames. The plaques are molded in an industry standard size in a square shape 4 by 4 inches with a thickness of 4 ml. The reason we send the plaques is to give the customer a quick and easy way to test the electrical characteristics of the blend they have chosen. Pellets are also sent, so the customer can mold or extrude their product within their facility. If the customer does not have the equipment to do the molding or extruding, Jasper Rubber can facilitate this for them in order to enhance the prototype.


The time frame up until this point may well have taken several weeks but the customer now has the ability to begin their own research and development based on the ElectriPlast™ technology. At this point we are not aware of the customer's timeline for engineering procedures but we are readily available to assist them with all their wants on engineering, processing techniques and manufacturing.


The procedures outlined above together with research and development, testing, engineering, design, and tooling make sale cycles time consuming especially when a new technology as diverse as ElectriPlast™ is being introduced to an industry that has been devoid of a product like this forever. This hard work, diligence and a world leading technology brings us closer to capitalizing on our Intellectual Property and Patent Portfolio.

Redefined Plastic Breaks the Manufacturing Mold

In the world of high tech, on the top everyone's wish list are the words smaller, cheaper, and lighter. That bell rings loud and clear from the end-user down to the design and engineering teams assigned to create next generation products.


What if inexpensive, lightweight plastic were capable of conducting electricity?

Thomas Aisenbrey, Inventor and General Manager for Bellingham-based Integral Technologies, may have discovered an epochal building block that has the potential to revolutionize the design world.


Moldable Conductive Plastics, or Electriplast, is a polymer blend that can be used to conduct electricity or as an antenna. In other words, this plastic advance could end up being a stand-alone replacement for metals in virtually every electronics device.


"ElectriPlast is a proprietary recipe capable of creating a vast family of highly conductive polymers," explains CEO William Robinson. "These can be molded into virtually any shape or dimension that any other plastic, rubber, or other polymer can be molded into."


The idea seems simple: free designers from the constraints that have previously hindered them by providing an able alternative to metals. ElectriPlast does what no plastic has done before, it can carry electrical currents as capably as copper. ElectriPlast consists of small pellets of plastic-wrapped metal fibers that, when poured into a hot molding machine and shaped, may help streamline production of all electronics. There are more than 118 patents filed around the product and its use.


To grasp the breadth of the ElectriPlast potential, one would need to take apart any electronics device: at the core of the fundamental product design, one invariably finds copper or metal being used to carry electrical current.


"Ask any design team about the use of plastic as a replacement for copper in these applications and most will say it can't be done," says Aisenbrey. "That is until they experience a demonstration," says Aisenbrey, who after spending years in his laboratory perfecting hundreds of formulations and blends of the material has actively begun showcasing ElectriPlast.


With their official manufacturing partner, Jasper Rubber Products, Integral is currently working to apply their innovations toward the creation of antennas, apparel, appliances, audio & visual devices, automotive products, batteries, cables, computers, electrical and heating systems, and more.
