BELLINGHAM, Wash. - (Business Wire) Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ITKG) (“Integral”), today announces the results of specialized, third-party independent and certified mechanical and electrical testing of its ElectriPlast™ conductive plastic product.


The testing used specimens doped with Stainless Steel Fiber encapsulated in Nylon 6/6 at a thickness of 3mm (0.12”). The test fixtures used for Electrical and Mechanical testing are manufactured by certified suppliers in accordance with ASTM (D638, D790, D256, D648, D792, D257, D4935), ESD (STM 11.11), FTMS (101C,4046), and UL (94) test methods.


Testing revealed that ElectriPlast’s™ Electromagnetic Shield Effectiveness Capability ranged from 70dB @ 30MHz to 90dB @ 1.5GHz. See www.itkg.net to view all the detailed electrical and mechanical test results per each test method. These superb EMI/RFI shielding properties over a wide frequency spectrum from DC to UHF outperformed the competition by over 40%. The Shield Effectiveness was performed according to ASTM D4935. Integral is proud to both reveal the specimen thickness and provide precise results for the shield effectiveness rather than merely a less-than or greater-than format.


Mo Zeidan, head of Business Development for ElectriPlast™ at Integral, said:

“The independent tests prove conclusively that ElectriPlast™ possesses unique properties that give rise to an efficiency and effectiveness far superior to those of our competitors’ electrically conductive products.”

The unique and exemplary performance characteristics of ElectriPlast™ are primarily the result of ElectriPlast’s™ patented and proprietary pellet design that permits it to be blended at a far higher doping percentage than its competition, thus optimizing its performance for any customer’s specific application.

“These results reveal that the mechanical strength and shield effectiveness of ElectriPlast™ is as efficient as metal, thus enabling our customers to switch from Aluminum and other metals to ElectriPlast,”

explained Mr. Zeidan.


What bodes particularly well for Integral’s future business prospects is that, in addition to the already demonstrated major costs savings and weight reduction ElectriPlast™ offers, ElectriPlast™ is now shown by objective and independent results to exceed the specifications of the hundreds of our customers who wish to incorporate ElectriPlast™ into their products. “Moreover, because all the pellets used for molding of the test specimens are manufactured by production tools at Jasper Rubber Inc., our customers will be confident that the manufacturing of their applications is guaranteed to replicate the test performance,” said Mr. Zeidan.


There is more exciting news to follow, says Mr. Zeidan:

“In Q1 we will begin to expand our testing to ultimately publish data for as many as 4 to 6 of Integral’s ElectriPlast™ proprietary materials. This will
cover various material combinations that will target multi-market sectors. Some of our new applications will be industry-firsts.”

These latest developments are the result of adding industry expertise at Integral and jointly working with the Jasper Rubber Inc. manufacturing team to enhance production for ElectriPlast™ commercialization and proceed with advanced R&D projects.

Integral Technologies

Integral Technologies, Inc. (www.itkg.net) is the developer of an innovative electrically conductive resin-based material called “ElectriPlast™,” a highly conductive recipe that can be molded into virtually any shape or dimension associated with the range of plastics, rubbers and other polymers. Our IP consists of ElectriPlast™ and multitudes of different applications pertinent to a wide variety of industries. No assurances can be given that all patent applications will be approved; however, to the extent that patents are not granted, we will continue to attempt to commercialize these technologies without the protection of patents. Various examples of industries where ElectriPlast™ can be used are antennas, shielding, lighting, circuitry, switch actuators, resistors, and medical devices, to name just a few. The company is currently introducing these new products and ElectriPlast™ technology on a global scale.
