Integral Technologies, Inc. To Open Korean Office for Sales of ElectriPlast™

Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB: ITKG) (“Integral” or “Company”) an emerging leader in hybrid conductive plastics, announced today it plans to open its first Asia office in Seoul, South Korea in early 2012. The Korea office is necessary to support the growing demand for ElectriPlast™, the Company’s patented and innovative, hybrid electrically conductive light-weight resin-based material.

The Company’s decision to create a presence in Korea follows months of discussion with a potential partner to manufacture and distribute ElectriPlast™ in Korea. In addition to these efforts, ElectriPlast Corporation (http://www.electriplast.com/), the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, has assisted several Korean multinational companies to successfully complete their initial testing and molding of ElectriPlast™ prototype products for the automotive industry. These prototype products are intended for both the Korean domestic and international markets.

Integral has identified a location for its office in downtown Seoul. Leading the operations will be Mr. Gene Song, a Korean businessman and executive who was a former director of the US satellite operator ORBCOMM LLC, and at one time its largest single shareholder. Mr. Song’s career has spanned several industries. Prior to becoming an investor and operator in the satellite telecom industry in the US and Asia, he spent over 15 years as an executive in the financial industry running a technology fund, managing a fund for Invesco in Hong Kong, and working with Hyundai Securities.

The commitment by Integral to showcase its technology in Korea should be the catalyst for future growth in Asia. The Company looks forward to continuing the product development cycle with various Korean customers and introducing its technology to other Asian manufacturers and their engineers through ElectriPlast Corporation and our future Korea office. “We believe ElectriPlast’s™ superior electrical shielding and design flexibility compared to metal and other conductive plastics will be of great value to them,” said William Robinson, Integral’s Chairman and CEO. The ability to mold ElectriPlast™ at low cost into virtually any shape or dimension associated with a wide range of plastics, rubbers and other polymers translates into design flexibility, and enables faster development cycles that add to savings for manufacturers.

ElectriPlast: Another Step on the Road to Success

2011-09-06T23:37:00.003+02:00

A New

Piece

in the

Puzzle...

Plastics News Report
September 6, 2011

Firm using conductive plastic in next-generation antenna

BELLINGHAM, WASH. (Sept. 6, 1:10 p.m. ET) -- A new Integral Technologies Inc. subsidiary disclosed that Think Wireless Inc. is using ElectriPlast conductive plastics in next-generation antenna components.

Think of Coconut Creek, Fla., is using the components in Sirius XM Radio Inc. satellite radio receivers, the subsidiary ElectiPlast Corp. reported Sept. 6. Paul Mackenzie, ElectriPlast director of global sales, said Think Wireless selected ElectriPlast as its sole supplier of conductive resins.

Months of testing and trials preceded the Think Wireless decision, said Argy Petros, founder and chief technology officer of the wireless-device specialist.

In August, Integral formed the Philadelphia-based subsidiary to commercialize, sell and market ElectriPlast conductive plastics and appointed Herbert Reedman Jr. as the unit’s president and CEO. On April 15, Integral had retained the former automotive retail executive as a consultant and named him as an Integral corporate director.

With more than 80 blends in its line, ElectriPlast advocates are pursuing dozens of potential users. EP-CF/66, a polyamide-and-nickel-plated carbon fiber composite, is a recent addition to the company’s product line.

Proceeding from prototype to commercialization, however, can prove arduous.

Among its prospects, Integral began working with LG Chem Ltd., a producer of lithium ion batteries, in June 2010 and thought it saw a bright light in an LG Chem exhibit at the April 12-14 world congress of SAE International in Detroit.

Integral distributed an April 24 technology update including a photograph and said: “Pictured above is a component from an LG Chem battery pack to be used in an upcoming European vehicle. The gray cover on the end is made with ElectriPlast.”

The exhibit included a cutaway mockup of liquid- and air-cooled battery modules that would be integrated into a battery pack for plug-in or battery electric vehicle, said Damian Gardley, director of sales for a LG Chem Power Inc. research-and-development site in Troy, Mich.

“We have tested parts using ElectriPlast along with other resins,” Gardley said. LG Chem Ltd. is a subsidiary of the Seoul-based conglomerate LG Corp.

Integral says a compounded ElectriPlast formulation of resin-based materials is conductively loaded, or doped, with a balanced concentration of micron conductive materials and then pelletized. Non-corrosive ElectriPlast can be molded into any shape associated with plastics and rubbers and, Integral says, is as electrically conductive as if it were metal.

ElectriPlast was designed into an unidentified device for a military application through a systems supplier that became an Integral licensee in May 2010.

Integral established a relationship with custom molder and extruder Jasper Rubber Products Inc. of Jasper, Ind., initially in 2006. The arrangement includes patent license and manufacturing agreements. The Jasper plant can produce more than 50,000 pounds of ElectriPlast pellets per month.

During 2006-2007, Integral signed patent license agreements with heating element and light-emitting-diode supplier Heatron Inc. of Leavenworth, Kansas; automotive components manufacturer ADAC Plastics Inc. of Grand Rapids, Mich.; protective-systems supplier Esprit Solutions Ltd. of Liverpool, England; and electromagnetic-field-protected molded components maker Knowles Electronics LLC of Itasca, Ill. As of June 30, Integral had not received revenues from any of the agreements.

Integral retained James Eagan of Potomac Falls, Va., as a corporate director and consultant Dec. 1. Eagan co-founded telecommunications satellite service provider Orbcomm LLC in 2001 and advises Orbcomm on its Asia Pacific licensees.

Publicly traded development-stage Integral Technologies is based in Bellingham, Wash.

ElectriPlast™: The ElectriPlast Blog Welcomes Herb Reedman

2011-06-22T00:15:00.009+02:00

Stepping

up to the

Plate

By Vince S
ElectriPlast™ Blog Editor

[Editor's Note: Originally, the theme of this article was the need for Integral to hire account representatives to negotiate with the many companies who have signed Integral non-disclosure agreements (NDAs). Although there are in excess of 350 NDAs, for a variety of reasons, there has been little follow-up by Integral. This is already changing thanks to Herb Reedman's appointment. Keep an eye on him, folks. He is the real deal.]

An Auto Industry Visionary and Recognized Leader

When CEO William S. Robinson announced the appointment of Herbert C. Reedman, Jr. to the Integral Technologies Board of Directors a month ago, few could have imagined the immediate impact this dynamic entrepreneur would have on our company. Based on his recent Company Corner interview, Herb has "hit the ground running." For starters, as Robinson stated, "Herb will focus his attention on the awareness, marketing, branding and sales of ElectriPlast™."

Really, Bill? Is there anything else you want Herb to do? After all, his portfolio covers most of Integral's range of activities. Awareness: Tell the world who we are and what we have to sell. Marketing: Get Integral Technologies' name out there in as many venues (print, broadcast and Internet) as possible. (Don't forget the Goodyear Blimp at the college football games!) Branding: Raise consumer awareness of ElectriPlast™ making it a household word, if possible. Sales: Bring home the bacon, baby! That's what this has been about since day one. Since receiving his portfolio from Bill Robinson, Herb has already taken a number of initiatives that auger well for the future of Integral and all who are invested in her.

What About that Backlog of NDAs?

Since the advent of ElectriPlast™, Integral has signed an increasing number of NDAs with scores of manufacturers in the automotive, consumer electronics, communications, military, medical device and other sectors. Some of them read about ElectriPlast™ on-line or in trade journals and inquired it, but they had to sign an NDA before serious discussions ensued. Others, skeptical about claims that conductive plastic can not only do the work of some metals, but do it better in a number of cases, asked for test samples (now they must pay), but the obligatory NDA came first. No matter what the prospective relationship between the parties, an NDA was required. Now there are far more NDAs than ElectriPlast™ patents. At last count, 350-plus such agreements had been signed to protect the rights of Integral and our potential clients.

Great! Now what? For starters, those 350 NDAs aren't worth the paper they're printed on unless someone from Integral follows up with the signatories; however, given staffing limitations at Integral, there has been very little follow up. But even newly-minted MBA graduates know that follow up negotiations and salesmanship are necessary to move beyond the NDA stage and to the point of a purchase order. Until Herb Reedman and his staff came along, whatever follow up that occurred had been conducted by Mo Zeidan and his team of specialists.

Let the Experts Handle the NDAs

As NDAs continued to mount, the staff at Integral remained fairly static, not that they had the time or the credentials to serve as account managers anyway. Then, miracle of miracles, we found Herb Reedman, the missing piece of the Integral equation. He has the resources, the network and the industry contacts to help move us beyond the penny stock level. According to his interview, he has dedicated himself as well as six of his staff from Vantage4, his automotive marketing and consulting firm in Fort Washington, PA, to the success of Integral Technologies. And that, folks, is what you call commitment.

Moreover, Herb is establishing the Integral Technologies National Sales Office in his Vantage4 marketing and consulting firm, the Philadelphia Center, as he calls it. At last, someone is showing some leadership by focusing on that mountain of 350 NDAs and getting us out of our current circular pattern. Reedman and company are experts at marketing, sales and consulting, and have the capability to move the NDA signatories to the contract stage. Without question, Reedman's resources, networks and contacts can make this badboy happen.

One last observation, if I may be permitted: Herb Reedman was one of the best in his sector.

He was a successful businessman for four decades, a recognized leader in his industry, and an innovator and thinker who was in the vanguard of his group such that his wise counsel was sought by many of his peers. Clearly, after building and running a multimillion dollar business, I submit that Herb Reedman isn't one to rest on his laurels. That being the case, might I suggest, from a succession planning perspective, that Herb could easily take over the helm of this ship and make Bill Robinson and the rest of us very wealthy shareholders.

So, a hearty shout out from the ElectriPlast Blog and welcome to Integral Technologies, Herb Reedman! We have been waiting for you for a very long time.

With business credentials that will help Integral move to the next level.

Integral Technologies, Inc. (ITKG) Launches Revolutionary New Electrically Conductive Hybrid Plastic Based on the Company’s ElectriPlast Technology

Integral Technologies, the leading developer of hybridized plastics which are electrically conductive and used for a vast array of electronic devices or other industrial/consumer products, reported today the immediate availability of a new version of the Company’s flagship ElectriPlast™ technology, called ElectriPlast-CF66.

This newly engineered composite material has been developed to specifically meet the exacting requirements of electromagnetic shielding, thermal and mechanical demands in applications like aerospace, automotive and marine. Designed to be a cost-effective electromagnetic shielding solution for engine compartments and other harsh environments, EP-CF66 is composed primarily of polyamide 66 and nickel-plated carbon fiber, resulting in a remarkably superior material that is half the weight of extant/competing conductive plastics industry-wide.

CEO of ITKG, Bill Robinson, clearly knows he has a winning product on his hands and explained that the revolutionary EP-CF66 is really the result of extensive R&D, collaboration and tons of hours spent working closely with the Company’s OEM clients. Robinson pointed to the improved durability and material strength achieved in EP-CF66 without compromising the conductivity, explaining that it is a salient technology which instantly sets itself apart from and ahead of other electrically conductive hybrid plastics.

The Company’s intention was to carve out a sizeable chunk of the market of Tier One suppliers, in conjunction with whom EP-CF66 was developed, so as to broaden the Company’s already sizeable footprint in the sector. Looking at the physical and performance characteristics of EP-CF66, it is not hard to feel like that intention has been successfully fulfilled and with resounding triumph. Whether we are talking high mechanical strength or overall integrity with regard to resisting corrosion from fluids, EP-CF66 is a robust composite that also can endure high frequency vibrations without breaking down.

Parts molded with EP-CF66 have even beaten aluminum for conductivity in certain frequencies and at less than half the weight, truly a remarkable product which has broadened ITKG’s portfolio of technologies substantially and dovetails nicely with the other offerings in the Company’s ever-expanding line of ElectriPlast composites.

CTO of ITKG, Mo Zeidan, also pointed to the vast customer testing that went into the development of EP-CF66 and how the positive feedback received on the material’s mechanical properties, light weight and conductivity is a solid testimony of quality.

EP-CF66 serves a huge market which is looking for ways to make products cheaper, lighter and more robust while meeting stricter regulations on fuel standards, greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption. EP-CF66 has already been named among the “Best of What’s New” in technology products from esteemed publications like Popular Science and was labeled as a “Best Innovation” by the Innovations International CES.

The Company’s huge patent and IP library has also been underscored by MDB Capital as “One of the 50 Best & Brightest Companies”, leading to a huge amount of buzz surrounding the Company as this new offering hits the market.

ElectriPlast: Tier One, Part Two

Waiting

for the

Other

Shoe

to Drop

By Vince S
ElectriPlast™ Blog Editor

“Ah! my heart is weary waiting, Waiting for the May: Waiting for the pleasant rambles Where the fragrant hawthorn brambles, Where the woodbine alternating, Scent the dewy way; Ah! my heart is weary, waiting, Waiting for the May.”

Denis Florence McCarthy

The Merry Month of May!

When Denis McCarthy, the 19th century Irish poet, pinned his ode to the month of May, he had no idea that he would also be a futurist whose prose would summarize the hopes and aspirations of a group of future investors.

With baited breath (and weary waiting), Integral Technology shareholders anticipate the next 10-Q, which should be released in mid-May, to see if we had any sales from ElectriPlast™ during quarter ending 31 March. Based on a recent Company Corner article, Integral has adopted a new accounting method that will specifically identify invoiced amounts of ElectriPlast™ sent to customers.

To paraphrase a fellow shareholder whose knowledge of such matters runs deep, "In the last year plus, there have been several press releases that would have sent this stock flying five years ago." Those press releases detailed Integral's efforts to deploy ElectriPlast™ in the defense industry, the plastics sector and the automobile arena. Now, we are waiting for the other shoe to drop; i.e., news from one of those sectors.

Was LG Chem the Other Shoe?

No. As significant as that information was, the LG Chem news came out of the blue, unknown to all but a few Integral officers. It was totally unexpected at the EP Blog desk. Even so, it was welcomed because it validates what we shareholders have long believed; that progress is being made out there in the 350-plus NDA hinterland. Moreover, it is the first time ElectriPlast™. has been publicly acknowledged by a potential client. And at the SAE World Congress, no less. Now, LG Chem, would you please follow that up with a nice contract? After all, there can never be too many shoes dropping at the same time! Still, that is not the other shoe I expect to fall.

No, I am looking forward to 10-Q evidence that we are selling ElectriPlast™ pellets and/ or plaques in quantities large enough to indicate that we are meeting the requirement to put a part in the 2012 "prestigious European motorcar." According to the schedule I published earlier, parts manufacturers we ought to be close to making and shipping their parts to the automaker for the final pre-assembly line stage.

Personally, I think that proverbial shoe is hovering on a thread and will drop very soon. Of course, the ideal situation would be the announcement of a purchase order from one of those automobile manufacturers mentioned in months gone by. Reportedly, there are several that could get the ball rolling but, as we have found, events don't happen on ITKG shareholders want them to.

As another colleague, whom I respect for his pragmatism and business acumen, said, "We know there have been various 'sales' throughout the years that have been hidden in the minutia of the filings, but I think size really does matter at this point. Let's face it, after years and years of hyperbole, a few dollars of sales (even a few thousand dollars) will not be enough to excite most folks, at least not the current audience. Now, if we'd get 'sales,' followed by announcements of strategic partnerships, a legitimate Board of Directors, a move to a better exchange, etc., then we'll be in a better position to believe better days are ahead." (Actually, a move to a better exchange could only come after ITKG had maintained, among other things, a three month price per share averaging $4.) Right on, dude! We could use some of that about now! Other than the pps, I think we are almost there!

The 2012 Euro Motorcar

A few months ago, I stepped out on a limb (not the first time) and predicted the scheduling of the 2012 "prestigious European motorcar." According to that schedule, I had Jasper cranking out our part during the months of April or May to make the next stage, the final assembly of that 2012 "prestigious European motorcar."

I might be off by some few weeks, but I'm sticking to my original prediction, folks. It is time to fish or cut bait, Integral.

Integral Completes Initial Order for one of World's Leading Plastic Suppliers

Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ITKG) ("Integral"), an emerging leader in hybrid conductive plastics, is pleased to announce the completion of a significant initial order by one of the world's leading chemical/plastics companies ("the company") for 1200 pounds of ElectriPlast pellets and several hundred plaques. The pellets and plaques will each contain multiple blends of ElectriPlast. Integral will be manufacturing the pellets and plaques with resin supplied by the company.

In turn, the company (which does not at this time want its name to be publicized for competitive reasons) will be designing multiple applications utilizing its resin and Integral's ElectriPlast technology. Initially the focus will be to replace existing shielding technologies, specifically for use in power electronics.

Currently, the company does not market or produce any conductive plastic, but recognizes the superior shield effectiveness of ElectriPlast compared to both metal and other conductive plastics and will be testing ElectriPlast for marketing as its only conductive plastic.

This represents Integral's first order of magnitude, and marks the beginning of a distribution channel for ElectriPlast in which another company will be both supplying their resin and designing new applications for ElectriPlast.

"Having a synergistic relationship with this Company, both as a supplier of resin, and in the development of applications for ElectriPlast, will have a powerful effect on future ElectriPlast commercialization efforts," notes William Robinson, CEO of Integral. "These blends of ElectriPlast will focus on electronics applications. Together with our recent advancements in the automotive and military sectors, this order confirms that ElectriPlast continues to gain market acceptance."

ElectriPlast™: Tier One Auto Suppliers and Manufacturers

2010-12-09T10:32:00.005+01:00

Joining

the

Auto Age

By Vince S. ElectriPlast™ Blog Editor

[Editor's Note: In its latest press release, Integral’s ElectriPlast™ Meets Another Milestone for 2012 Automobile, Integral revealed a major advance in its efforts to introduce ElectriPlast™ to the transportation industry via a prestigious European automaker.]

The 2012 Euro Motorcar

In the long and storied history of the European motorcar, only a small percentage of automakers have warranted being called prestigious. In fact, in an article about prestigious brands, Motor Trend magazine said they are of "consistently superior quality, exclusivity and uniqueness, a measure of enhanced social status, and a measure of the ability of a brand to make a customer "feel special." Combined with the qualities of power, precision, a finely-tuned engine, and road worthiness, prestigious motorcars rule the autobahn or any European superhighway (both EP Blog officers are experienced autobahn drivers), without having to yield to an inferior motorcar. Yet, in the European community, the production of prestigious motorcars is as emblematic of national pride for England, France, Germany, Italy, and Sweden as are their history, national landmarks, language and culture, etc. So, initially, only one such automaker will produce and assemble motorcars for their 2012 line with ElectriPlast™ parts under their hood. With this successful rollout, and keeping in mind that imitation is the best form of flattery, it is anticipated that others will follow this European trend setter.

Yeah, But Will the Industry follow?

Clearly, it will take time before there is wide acceptance of ElectriPlast™ parts, but momentum is already moving in that direction. Currently, there are two Tier One auto suppliers and OEM manufacturers who are working with ElectriPlast™. Between them, they supply a range of products to more than a dozen auto manufacturers. As is the case with the first two Tier One suppliers, other OEM will discover the efficacy of our IP and will convert more and more parts from metal to ElectriPlast ™. And the rest of the industry? Will they follow?

For the sake of this discussion, I have defined prestigious European cars to include: Bentley, BMW, Daimler, Fiat, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Saab, Volkswagen and Volvo. Under their marques, they make other prestigious motorcars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, and Porsche, etc. Cognoscenti usually consider these motorcars to be the top of the line, with long reputations for precision and quality. Also, due to the cost to own and maintain one, these motorcars give the impression that a degree of status is conveyed to the owner as a person who has arrived at a certain level of wealth and consequence.

Low Hanging Fruit

From the beginning of the ElectriPlast™ era, Integral Technologies has patented a number of inventions that target the automotive sector, among others; however, it has only been since the arrival of Mo Zeidan that the corporate philosophy emerged of pursuing "low hanging fruit," i.e., those patents where it is abundantly clear that ElectriPlast™ has a solution to a problem. Concurrently, the ElectriPlast™ Blog has written extensively about Integral's role in the automotive sector (remember ADAC) and the impact that ElectriPlast™ parts, specifically batteries, cabling, connectors, shielding, lighting, internal parts, etc., can have in that industry.

And the worldwide automobile industry is huge. For example, last year there were 60 million new cars produced worldwide. If we Integral captures even 5% of that market, we are looking at incredible numbers. As Integral stated in its press release, "The ElectriPlast™ parts provide a nearly 50% weight savings over the metal parts currently being used, while also providing superior RF shielding properties." No wonder the Boyz in Bellingham are ecstatic: We have two Tier One auto suppliers who are champing at the bit to put ElectriPlast™ in their new designs.

Sustainability? Yeah, and Profitability, too!

During the 15 years since its inception (January 1996), there has been much speculation about the sustainability of Integral Technologies and whether it will ever generate revenue. While stepping gingerly on that outstretched thin limb, it appears to me that 2011 will be the money year. Why?

Most new cars start surfacing in the autumn of the preceding year, so if we backdate to, say, October 2010, here is my take (approximately) on scheduling for that 2012 prestigious European motorcar:

• January-March: Purchase Order received from Tier One auto supplier.
• March-April: Jasper, capable of 50,000 pounds of EP per month, manufactures and ships EP pellets to the Tier One supplier.
• April - May: Tier One supplier manufactures and ships required parts to the European automaker.
• June-September: Automaker assembles and ships final product to worldwide points of sale.
• September - October: Auto dealers worldwide sell the 2012 motorcar.

Based on the significant progress reported in the November press release, as well as the UL™ approval, it seems a foregone conclusion that next year, finally, will be our year. Once the world knows that those two EUR carmakers are using EP parts, those who have sworn off or sworn at ITKG will want to get on the bandwagon, and that includes Mr. Holy Grail. If this doesn't change his mind, the next sea change, ElectriPlast™ wire, surely will!

Stay tuned, folks! This rocket is about to ignite.

Integral’s ElectriPlast™ Designed into Military Electrical Device

BELLINGHAM, Wash.--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ITKG) (“Integral”) (http://www.electriplast.com/), an emerging leader in electrically conductive plastics, announced today that ElectriPlast™ has been designed into a device for a military application by one of Integral’s licensees. Final testing and trials are expected to be completed by the end of 2010.

On May 27, 2010, Integral announced a license agreement with this licensee, a leading provider of system solutions with extensive technical and engineering content serving aerospace/defense, telecommunications, medical and other international high-technology niche markets.

William Robinson, CEO of Integral, said, “This design win is a result of our collaborative efforts with this licensee over the last several months for optimum uses of ElectriPlast™. This particular use of ElectriPlast™ is just one of several applications for which the license was granted. As this relationship continues to expand we expect this licensee to utilize ElectriPlast™ in its other niche markets.”

Robinson, CEO, went on to say; “We have made significant progress this year largely because of the progress of our licensing partners to incorporate ElectriPlast™ into their designs, as the solution to some of their engineering challenges. As we continue to work with these companies, we anticipate an acceleration of the uses of ElectriPlast™ in electro active shielding and conductive devices. It is especially gratifying to see the defense industry embrace our technology because the uniqueness of ElectriPlast™ -- its lightweight and design flexibility, while providing superior shielding -- is ideal for numerous military applications. Along with our recent design wins in the auto industry, this demonstrates growing market acceptance of ElectriPlast™.”

As ElectriPlast™ gains greater market acceptance, the continued use of license agreements will be a key in the growth and development of the product. ElectriPlast™ allows a design engineer the utmost freedom in designing new products or enhancing current designs. Through Jasper Rubber, Integral’s manufacturing partner, Integral can work with customers who do not have the equipment to do the necessary molding or extruding. At all stages, Integral can assist in the design and review of manufacturing applications and process optimization to meet whatever may be the precise specifications. Electrical and mechanical testing of ElectriPlast™ components and applications can then be carried out, followed by customer training and service for design and implementation. Integral also can form joint ventures to co-develop applications for the ElectriPlast™ pellet, as it has with other companies.

Integral continues to negotiate with many other companies to complete additional licenses of its patented ElectriPlast™ Technology.

Integral Announces ElectriPlast™ Shipment to Tier One Auto Supplier for Delivery to Leading Global Automaker.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ITKG) (“Integral”), (http://www.itkg.net/) an emerging leader in electrically conductive plastics, announced today that one of the world’s leading automakers, through a Tier 1 automotive supplier, has ordered sample parts made from the company’s ElectriPlast™ material. The ElectriPlast™ part will allow them to meet weight goals for a 2012 model year car which will begin production in the first half of 2011.

Our ElectriPlast™ material has been approved by the Tier 1 as well as by the manufacturer. Integral has shipped initial quantities of its proprietary ElectriPlast™ resin pellets to the Tier 1 automobile parts supplier in order for them to mold and test parts. The ElectriPlast™ part would replace a metal part used to shield the car’s power electronics and provides a nearly 50% weight savings over the metal part currently being used, while also providing superior electrical shielding.

This delivery of sample parts is the first step towards shipping final product to the Tier 1 for inclusion in the final production model.

William Robinson, Integral’s CEO, commented, “This is a tremendous opportunity and a major milestone for our company. We are excited about this for a variety of reasons, but what it boils down to is that we believe we can potentially gain traction quickly in a market segment that is very attractive for Integral. With over 60 million automobiles produced annually, worldwide, there is clearly an opportunity to generate substantial growth for our company with just a handful of design wins. Our goal is to have parts made from our material specified in more makes and models as we work at the same time to increase the number of parts made from ElectriPlast™ within each vehicle. We see an opportunity for multiple applications of ElectriPlast for shielding or conducting within the automobile of today and even more in the hybrid/electric vehicle of the future, the growth potential is enormous. Our first priority is to meet the needs of our earliest customers and then to increase awareness more broadly across the industry and up through the supply chain.”

ElectriPlast™ can replace metal in a multitude of parts ranging from battery covers, connectors and fuses, to shielded plugs and connectors. By utilizing ElectriPlast™ for shielding applications alone, manufacturers are able to reduce the weight of a vehicle by as much as fourteen pounds or more, while improving electrical shielding performance and reducing parts cost and shipping weight.

Robinson also stated, “We’ve worked very closely with our Tier 1 customer and others in the automobile industry to develop custom blends of material that are specifically designed to meet the needs of automobile manufacturers for multiple types of parts. “ “In this particular case, it’s worth noting that ElectriPlast™ was the only way for the manufacturer to meet their weight specification while also achieving the required electrical performance.“

According to Robinson, “automakers now have, for the first time, the opportunity to permanently replace heavy metal parts with lower cost, lighter weight and better performing, for either conducting or shielding ElectriPlast™ parts. The ElectriPlast™ pellets can be used to form parts of virtually any shape or size, providing design flexibility for engineers and enabling shorter development cycles that add to the savings for manufacturers. This is accomplished by the fact that ElectriPlast™ can easily be used in low cost injection molding or extrusion facilities with little or no change in dies or tooling.”

News Release

EB Publisher's note: In May 2010, ElectriPlast had it's first brush with MDB group when it was featured as Integral Technologies' showcase product at the "Bright Lights" stock conference. ElectriPlast made an impact on the conference's sponsors, so much so that they, like ipCapital Group (featured in the June 2010 collector's edition of the EB), have fallen in line to enhance the foundation supporting ElectriPlast's pending rise beyond, and blast though, the glass ceiling that has held the company back, and stymied its stock growth...rest assured, while it may not seem like much at this time--the movement described in the press release below will be looked upon as a lynchpin highlighting a lackluster trend which will soon come to an end.

So, as a reminder, to all concerned -- and as a friend recently was recently kind 'nuf to remind me:

"IP Capital is protecting and obtaining new patents for us. They are directly involved in our IP.

MDB Capital are the investment bankers and will be representing us to Wall St, hedge funds, big investors, etc. When additional funding is needed MDB will be directly involved with those matters."

With that, I hope this helps to put things into perspective as you digest the accompanying announcement -- PK sends...

ElectriPlast: Getting Connected...

Something

New…

By: PK
ElectriPlast Blog Publisher

During the past week, Integral announced that the US Patent and Trademark Office had granted a new patent in the ElectriPlast™ series, Low cost electrical terminals manufactured from conductive loaded resin-based materials. http://officialelectriplasttm.blogspot.com/2010/09/patent-update_01.html

While the application featured on the USPTO website is thorough – and to be completely honest, it would be simplistic to state that I understood the entire patent – I do sense that underlying the significance of this patent are applications that are just around the corner.

Here is what I sense to be the “Magic Pill” associated to this patent above its predecessors, and what binds them all together into a synergetic bundle that could very well mean a true start to the lift-off count down.

This patent speaks to nuts and bolts connections – it’s as simple as that.

To take old tech, and match it with new tech, you need a plug. On the telephone the connection mechanism is called the phone jack or (RJ-45). On a computer's local area network there are a number of ways to connect, from using a wireless router, to using a simple Ethernet jack or (RJ-11). Then there are the numerous other connector cables ranging from USB to other related connectors...You get the picture.

Well, with ElectriPlast™, there was always this disruptive material, but the engineers from the various interested companies were charged with the nagging prospect of how to make this stuff cost effectively compatible with their product and more importantly, their production line. Part of that compatibility concern focused on connecting the integral parts (both legacy technology and ElectriPlast™ material) into a virtually newer/better/cheaper product.

If what I read in this patent is correct, it describes the standardized butterfly knot that nicely ties/converts both legacy and ElectriPlast™ technology together, and -- at the same time it apparently serves to “connect-the-dots” to ElectriPlast™’s smooth expansion into the “real-world” marketplace.

Just a thought from the sidelines,

Penny Stock Insider

Antennagate, Steve Jobs and a Penny Stock

From Maury, to Bill O'Reilly, to Glenn Beck, to any news channel on the planet, you can't help but come across depressing stories on a daily basis. But few are as heart, nay gut wrenching, as those inhabitants of earth that have been plagued by ‘Antennagate'. If you are one of the few penny stock consumers not rocking back and forth, mumbling to yourself in the corner, ‘Applegate' is the ever-so-clever term used to describe the recent calamity befalling Apple Computer and its cheery CEO, Steve Jobs.

First released on June 24, Apple's iPhone 4 has become a dream come true for both shareholders and retailers. During the third quarter alone, Apple sold some 8.4 million iPhones.

Despite the stellar sales, iPhone consumers soon began experiencing problems with their devices. The iPhone 4 suffers a design flaw that causes dropped calls in regions with low signal strength. Some customers and publications have also complained that touching the rim of the device can result in dampened and lost reception.

No one wants lost potential sales. Not even Steve Jobs. Apple's solution to 'Antennagate' is free cases; a move that is likely going to cost the company $175 million in revenue. That's a drop in the bucket though for a company that made $15.7 billion last quarter alone.

Antennagate could put penny stocks on Wall Street's radar.

I was thinking though. Why spend a minimum of $175 million on cases to rectify antenna issues when you could simply be proactive and make product casings that ARE an antenna?

Integral Technologies, Inc. (ITKG - OTCBB) is a development stage penny stock company that manufactures PlasTenna and ElectriPlast technology. ITKG has developed a line of antennas that dramatically increase performance, improve design flexibility and reduce the power consumption for virtually any wireless device.

ITKG formulates ElectriPlast into pellets that contain varying conductive properties. A company selects the properties it wants, and ITKG molds the pellets into any shape without losing the conductivity.

ElectriPlast conducts heat and electricity like most metals; some call it a plastic-metal composite. ElectriPlast has hundreds of potential uses, including as an antenna that covers the entire body of a cell phone-like a "jacket" for the phone.

ITKG calls this jacket PlasTenna and says it will help improve cell phone signal strength and reliability. Further, ITKG's ElectriPlast is lighter, less expensive, and significantly, more reliable, than traditional antennas, and increases reception.

Once perfected, various products will be submitted to UL and CSA for electrical approval within North America and to other markets overseas.

ITKG is working with close to 350 companies it has Non Disclosure Agreements with, some being the largest in their industry.

On July 14, ITKG announced the international market deployment of the ElectriPlast pellet and that its technology achieved industry milestones in specialized third-party independent and certified testing.

Based on the January test data, two of ITKG's customers in the automotive and aerospace industries are in the process of switching to ElectriPlast. The company also said it would expand testing to include various resin and fiber combinations to target multi-market sectors.

ITKG now has eight different fiber blends it can offer its customers; blends that can be fabricated into virtually any shape or dimension. That means, whether you're a civilian or in the military, whether you work in the aerospace, medical or other industrial applications, thanks to the creativity of penny stock ITKG, wireless devices could soon be free of bulky aerials.

Steve Jobs may be an industry maverick, but he didn't have the foresight to see that he could have avoided ‘antennagate' by simply turning the entire bezel of the iPhone 4 into a reliable antenna.

One the other hand, as penny stock investors, we can check out a penny stock company that could turn the corner in 2010.

Here to add a bit of humor, perspective, and maybe realistic criticism.

A while ago – during one of many Integral news droughts – a few of us investors were bouncing light hearted e-mails back and forth. In the spirit of the moment, one of the investors came up these slogans for T-shirts, which represented our Integral adventure. Well, the author recently resurfaced these slogans, which appear even more timely and relevant.

Now, to be certain, Integral is in far better shape today than we were during the above time when we cheered and lamented our ITKG investment prospects. As a matter of fact, some of you may remember that Integral’s infrastructure and foundation were far more tenuous than it is today. The notion of a manufacturing base centered on a rented tooling-shop and individuals attempting to scheme access to the intellectual property that drives the ElectriPlast recipe might seem far-fetched. It was a fact back then. While it may seem as though the company is at a stand-still, the truth is, it’s come far since those questionable days -- farther than some even realize today.

When a contract is announced, the short-sighted might look only to the next share price bounce. Alright, I too will be watching as that happens. More importantly, I will also be watching the rest of the story behind the supply and demand process, and the potential of ITKG as an investment, as ElectriPlast moves into the marketplace. Integral Technologies has the patents; they have the media consultants; they have the manufacturing base; they have open-door access to the money-people; and through Mo, they have the technical expertise and sales team who, it is reported, can be embedded into a host of companies and manufacturers. All of these separate pieces are now firmly in-place and focused on advancing ElectriPlast, and this stock beyond the previous share price ceiling. Despite the leadership present today, this investment is on the cusp of such activity.

That said, I thought now – before actual fireworks begin igniting – might be a good time to share these T-shirt slogans, to be worn at a future celebratory Salmon Fest or Bier and Brat Fest.

Well, there’s that, and my initial thought to spin this article as a wet-T-shirt story, just to help counter the summer heat most of you are currently enduring. Needless to say, it took almost two months for me to get my computer from crashed to useful again, so you can imagine that my programming skills just aren’t realistically there yet to pull off such graphic editing – so, for entertainment value only, let’s just dedicate this article simply as a non-wet T-Shirt event.

I hope you enjoy.

2010-07-14 09:16 ET

Integral Announces Market Deployment of the ElectriPlast™ Pellet Including Independent Test Results

BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ITKG) (“Integral”), today announces (1) the international market deployment of the ElectriPlast™ pellet, a patented method of pelletizing conductive plastics based on its original blend, (2) expanded resin and fiber ElectriPlast™ pellet blends and their targeted industries, and (3) achieving industry milestones as proven by specialized third-party independent and certified testing of the additional ElectriPlast™ pellet blends.

Initial Test Data

In January of this year Integral released its initial test results of the ElectriPlast’s™ patented method of pelletizing various resins and fibers. The first pellet blend tested used PA66 (nylon with stainless steel fibers) which revealed that the pellet’s EMI/RFI shielding properties ranged from 70dB @ 30MHz to 90dB @ 1.5GHz over a wide frequency spectrum from DC to UHF, outperforming our competitors’ methods by over 40%. As a result, Integral received a strong world-wide upsurge in inquires and requests for non-disclosure agreements, and has begun working with existing and new customers to develop products using this technically advanced conductive pellet.

Market Deployment of ElectriPlast™ Based on Initial Test Data

Based on the January test data, two of our customers in the automotive and aerospace industries – both here and in Europe – are in the process of switching from our competitors’ products to ElectriPlast™ for their electronic shielding needs.

Expanded Resin and Fiber ElectriPlast™ Pellet Blends and Some of Their Targeted Industries

In January Integral announced that it would expand the testing to include various resin and fiber combinations to target multi-market sectors. Based on our customers’ internal marketing strategies and to expand ElectriPlast’s™ reach into every possible industry sector to become the leader in the conductive plastics industry, Integral selected seven resin and fiber combinations to test.

Using ElectriPlast’s™ patented pelletizing method, the table shows all eight distinguishable resin and fiber blends we tested—some unique in the industry—together with their targeted industry sectors.

Resin and Fiber Targeted Industry Sector (Partial list)

1 - ABS with Nickel Plated Carbon Fiber CE, A, AE/M
2 - PC/ABS with Nickel Plated Carbon Fiber CE, A, ES, AE/M
3 - PC/ABS with Stainless Steel Fiber CE, A, ES, AE/M
4 - PC with Nickel Plated Carbon Fiber CE, A, ES, AE/M
5 - PC with Stainless Steel Fiber CE, A, ES, AE/M
6 - PP with Nickel Plated Carbon Fiber CE, A, AE/M
7 - PP with Stainless Steel Fiber CE, A, AE/M
8 - PA66 (nylon with stainless steel fibers), previously tested A (EP/TP), ES, AE/M (EP/TP)

Legend

ABS:   Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene is a copolymer
PP: Polypropylene is a Thermoplastic Polymer
PC:   Polycarbonate is a Thermoplastic Polymer
CE:   Consumer Electronics
A: Automotive
ES:   Energy Storage
AE/M:   Aerospace/Military
EP/TP:   Engineering Plastics/Thermoplastics Polymer for High Temp/High Performance

Test Data Achieves Industry Milestones

The testing was conducted at five labs, four of which were independent labs with no affiliation whatsoever to Integral. All four independent labs performed electrical, mechanical and imaging/dispersion testing. The fifth lab was Integral’s internal lab where we have established full capabilities for research and development of ElectriPlast™ applications. Testing was performed consistent with all applicable Industry Standards: ASTM-D638, ASTM-D790, ASTM–D256, ASTM–D648, ASTM-D792, ESD STM-1 1.11, ASTM – D257, FTMS -101C/4046, ASTM-4935, UL–94.

The test results for these new seven pellet blends are all congruent with January’s test of the first blend, demonstrating that the patented ElectriPlast™ pelletizing process continues to prove itself out and achieve industry milestones. When molded, ElectriPlast™ pellet blends:

Provide electromagnetic shielding up to 40% greater than competitors for the PA66 with stainless Steel Fibers (January 2010 tests); Provide an Electromagnetic Shielding Effectiveness greater than 100 dB for the seven just-tested ElectriPlast™ blends, exceeding all of our current customers’ electromagnetic requirements; Provide up to 20dB greater shielding effectiveness at certain frequencies compared to current methods; Use resin and fibers that are common within their industry and are easily adaptable to current molding and extrusion machines; Employ a new and unique patented manufacturing process for fiber-dispersion of their various base compounds that use fewer fibers than current blends without sacrificing the exceptional electromagnetic shielding effectiveness and mechanical performance, making for an even fiber dispersion & lighter product; Maintain appropriate temperature variance, mechanical strengths and electrical characteristics based on any resins’ current molecular structure.

ElectriPlast™ Provides Unprecedented Design Flexibility

Now having eight distinguishable blends, Integral can offer customers a variety of pellets that can be fabricated into virtually any shape or dimension using low-cost injection molding or extrusion tools. This means that Integral can offer customers the design flexibility of being able to customize any pellet to meet their design requirements.

Engineered design flexibility and shorter development cycle reduces the costs of our customers’ manufacturing process that will continue to offer users of Integral’s technology the ability to change from heavy metal parts to new lightweight ElectriPlast™ parts.

Future Development and Business Awards

Integral continues to expand and patent its blends of ElectriPlast™ technology, and in the coming months will report on the testing of these, as well as the orders it has received from its customers for its current blends.

ElectriPlast: Seven Press Releases Later...

2010-07-12T01:01:00.010+02:00

Why

ipCapital

Matters

By Vince
ElectriPlast Blog Editor

The Euphoria

The December 2009 press release from Integral Technologies was most specific. Eight of the "most useful blends of ElectriPlast" had been selected for extensive testing. Moreover, the PR stated, the test results would be made available by the end of 2009. Finally, the press release listed a number of longstanding initiatives with some of Integral's "customer base." And the implications for the first half of 2010: Contracts! Revenue! At long last!

Then Integral issued a January 2010 press release that announced the successful testing of a blend of ElectriPlast. Mental fireworks went off and hearts raced as Loyal Longs throughout the land rejoiced. ITKG enjoyed a (brief) bounce into share price territory not seen in several years. But could it be true? Nearly seven years after the serendipitous discovery of ElectriPlast, it appeared that our miracle intellectual property was about to enter into wide acceptance as a manufacturing commodity. That being the case, ElectriPlast would soon be incorporated into many wiring, military, antenna, battery, and electrical shielding products!

Between January and May, Integral issued a record six press releases. Each PR cranked up expectations yet another notch. Would the next statement from Bellingham release the long anticipated results of ElectriPlast's electrical and physical properties? The anticipation was palpable.

The Reality

However, on 7 July, Integral appeared to rain on everyone's parade by announcing that it had inked ipCapital Group to develop an IP strategy for ElectriPlast. Bummer to the 10th power! We were expecting to see the rest of the ElectriPlast test results.

Initially disappointing, this relationship is clearly a strategic move by Integral to shore up IP protection, a move that could pay huge dividends down the road. Why? Because big fish eat little fish. A review of ipCapital's website will reveal the nature of their work and their strategic importance to many companies, Integral included. Also, a recent financial article cited microcap NTP and the success they have enjoyed litigating against industry titans who had infringed on NTP patents.

After many years of talking about the conductive properties of ElectriPlast, and flirting with a few industry titans that could have bought us out many times over, interest in conductive plastic and our IP runs far and deep. So, why was it important to get this deal signed? I believe we are about ready to light the proverbial rocket in which case, the signing of ipCapital tells me that the Boyz in Bellingham are adding yet another concentric circle of protection around our intellectual property. Logically, this is the last move before showing the world that we have the goods and it works as we have said all along

The release of the other seven data sheets, which will prove the validity of ElectriPlast, will have a school of big fish drooling over our IP. Our safety net is ipCapital Group. It makes imminent sense to put that strategic piece of the mosaic in place, before putting our portfolio of ElectriPlast test results in the public domain.

The Future

After seven press releases, the long awaited data sheets, arguably the most important announcement in Integral Technologies' storied history, could be, in fact, it must be the subject of the next press release from Bellingham.

Stay tuned, folks.

ElectriPlast: Next Level Infastructure Introduced...

Business Wire
2010-07-07 09:13 ET - News Release

Integral Engages ipCapital Group to Develop an IP Strategy around ElectriPlast™

BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- Integral Technologies, Inc. (OTCBB:ITKG) ("Integral" or the "Company") today announced the formation of a strategic alliance with ipCapital Group, Inc. ("ipCapital") (http://www.ipcg.com/) a major intellectual property (IP) strategy consulting and licensing firm, to assist the Company in (1) optimizing its return on investment on its IP, and (2) commercializing the Company's award-winning and disruptive technology ElectriPlast™.

ElectriPlast™

In each of Integral's 48 core and application patents (with more pending) ElectriPlast™ replaces the metallic component currently used in electroactive shielding and conductive devices, providing revolutionary applications that fundamentally change the way electricity is harnessed.

ipCapital

Based in Williston VT, ipCapital is led by John Cronin, its Managing Director and Chairman. ipCapital represents the largest IP strategy consulting team in the world. John and his team have served over 500 clients since 1998, including over 10% of the Fortune 500 clients and over 130 start-up companies across a variety of technologies and markets.

ipCapital's Methodology to Create Market Value from IP

Mr. Cronin has created both a unique ipCapital System(r) methodology for consulting as well as a world-class licensing and transaction process. The methodology provides for extraction and documentation of inventions, identifies opportunity and risk, drives transactions to completion, and creates significant market value from IP. ipCapital's professional services maximize financial results for clients that seek to develop and execute IP strategies, strengthen and monetize IP portfolios, and establish and implement Intellectual Asset Management ("IAM") practices. As the primary architect of ipCapital's best-in-class transaction methods, Mr. Cronin, also has successfully negotiated deals for ipCapital's clients including out-licensing agreements, asset sales, and merger and acquisitions.

The Unique IP ElectriPlast™ Represents

- ElectriPlast's™ electromagnetic shield effectiveness has a wide frequency spectrum from Direct Current (DC) to Ultra-High frequency (UHF) and is unique among its competitors, which it outperforms by over 40%.

- The ElectriPlast™ pellet can be fabricated into virtually any shape or dimension using low-cost capital investment injection molding or extrusion (locally done with existing tools) versus metal stamping (often done overseas). This provides it with unparalleled design flexibility, shorter development cycle and speedy manufacturing (20x in some cases).

Commenting on the ElectriPlast™ technology, Integral's Chairman and CEO, William Robinson said, "in today's world electrical or RF current is conducted through an inanimate object - metal. In tomorrow's world current will be conducted though an animate object - ElectriPlast™."

Making ElectriPlast™ Part of Every Market that Uses Electricity

With the assistance of ipCapital's expertise in IP, licensing and business, Integral seeks to make ElectriPlast™ a part of every market segment that uses electricity: consumer appliances, communication devices, wiring, military applications, and light-weight parts for Hybrid and Electric vehicles (40-60% lighter than aluminum and copper) to name just a few. Within these segments ElectriPlast™ will be used.

(1) For shielding in power electronics (inverter and converters, battery chargers), motors, wire, and connectors;

(2) As conductive components embedded in LED's, fuses, resistors (replaces), bus bars and terminals, and RFID;

(3) To perform both shielding and conduction in batteries, semiconductors, heated elements, sensors, antennas (internal, external and meter readers) and consumer electronics (wireless routers, modems, 2-way radios, entertainment/audio (speakers), receivers (TV), hand-held devices (cell phones, PDA's such as the iPhone and Blackberry), computers, printers/scanners/faxes, and displays.

As Integral's customers freely tailor the technology to meet their specific needs, ipCapital will help Integral make sure that innovations in the uses of ElectriPlast™ will enjoy full and continuing IP protection.

How ipCapital Will Create Market Value from Integral's IP

Commenting on its engagement with Integral, Mr. Cronin said, "We at ipCapital are extremely excited and flattered to be part of the ElectriPlast™ project. The team at Integral has done a terrific job of developing and harnessing the IP around ElectriPlast™. One of our roles will be to examine all patents, trade secrets and technical know-how, find any points of penetration and tighten up the IP around ElectriPlast™.

"Further, we will assist in developing a market-driven IP strategy to help leverage Integral's deep history of technology and IP in new, huge markets that have now become available for ElectriPlast™. Key to this work is creating a data-driven IP landscape to guide us, and to find partners, leverage points, acquisition targets, and areas to enhance Integral's IP, with the ultimate goal of dramatically enhancing Integral's value.

"To accomplish this, we will help install a best in class IAM program based upon an IP strategy that will be the most advanced IP process in the world, something companies of this size usually would never get to do. We are happy that Integral sees that our strategic alliance can leverage Integral's shareholder value by using its current IP and soon-to-be greatly enhanced IP position to get maximum leverage of its IP as a business tool."

(stock symbol: ITKG) ("Integral" or the "Company") today announces that it has completed a License Agreement for its Patented ElectriPlast™ Technology with a leading provider of system solutions with extensive technical and engineering content (herein "Licensee") serving aerospace/defense, telecommunications and other international high technology niche markets. At the request of the customer its name will not be published so as to enhance its competitive advantage in utilizing ElectriPlast™.

Established over 60 years ago, this Licensee will be using ElectriPlast™ to provide highly reliable and durable shielding parts in high voltage interconnectors for military, aerospace, medical and other industrial applications manufactured and sold by the Licensee to fulfill the expectations of its demanding customers. Integral anticipates that the Licensee will begin ordering ElectriPlast™ in the near future to begin production of these parts.

As with other of Integral's customers, this Licensee had earlier executed an NDA with Integral to allow its development team to become informed of the technology, including the ElectriPlast™ product specifications in order to help them decide on a specific polymer blend. (Currently, Integral has over 350 NDA's in place with other companies.)

Integral then provided the Licensee samples of ElectriPlast™ plaques molded in an industrial standard size in a square shape 6 by 6 inches with a thickness ranging from 2 to 6 ml. This gave them a quick and easy way to test the electrical characteristics of the blend they chose. Through its manufacturing partner, Jasper Rubber Products, Inc. ("Jasper"), Integral also provided specially blended pellets for the Licensee to do its own molding or extruding to produce its own prototype and conduct its own research and development.

This license was entered into only after the Licensee was satisfied with the chosen application of ElectriPlast™. The License Agreement is a Non-Exclusive Purchase license that allows the Licensee to purchase ElectriPlast™ from Integral for its specific application. The non-exclusive component means that Integral retains the right to license ElectriPlast™ to other companies in the same industry. (Under certain circumstances a customer may enter into an Exclusive Purchase License and/or a Master License with Integral to sub-license the technology to other companies in its industry.)

ElectriPlast™ allows a design engineer the utmost freedom in designing new products or enhancing current designs. Through Jasper, Integral can work with customers who do not have the equipment to do the necessary molding or extruding. At all stages, Integral can assist in the design and review of manufacturing applications and process optimization to meet whatever may be the precise specifications. Testing (electrical and mechanical) of ElectriPlast™ components and applications can then be carried out, followed by customer training and service for design and implementation. Integral also can and has formed joint ventures to co-develop applications for the ElectriPlast™ pellet.

Integral is in negotiations with several other companies to complete additional licenses of its Patented ElectriPlast™ Technology.

Timelines and The Company Corner

Much has been wondered and speculated over the past months at the prospects of Integral Technologies and their ElectriPlast marvel. Promised timelines have slipped-- yet again, but this time the fault is not due to a lack of effort to put a fire under this long-simmering rocket.

The ElectriPlast Blog, too, has been sitting idle, waiting on Integral to take the next step. We thought that would be an extremely short wait, what with the long promised website due to hit the street months ago, and the prospective follow-ups to test results and maybe even news of a contract. While these remain largely unfulfilled and are still in the works, many or all of them could take place anytime now. To date, however, they have yet to come across the threshold (I always wanted to use that word in a sentence) of reality.

Well, there is a bit of action taking place that a number may not yet be aware of. For example, Integral’s new Director of Communications has been working on a feature for the new website called The ElectriPlast Company Corner. Eventually, this new venue will contain messages from Integral management on issues of interest to shareholders. So, why is this a good thing? Well, it will be a preamble of things to come. It will provide insights to the real, or rest of the story taking place behind the scenes. And, finally, it will go a long way toward spanning the transparency gap, an issue many shareholders have complained about for years.

However it is taken, http://www.officialelectriplast.blogspot.com/ is there and available for all to view and track. It is not a replacement for the EB, not in the slightest. Our charter continues to be to kick the tires that this stock rides on, to broker open and honest discussion on all things Integral, and, as necessary, to criticize the CEO and/or his sidekick William Ince (whose continued presence still mystifies me to no end). Needless to say, I’m not one of his fans, and he probably thinks even less of me – and that, while being a business good thing, it's also honest.

Hotmail Hackers from Hell

Recently, the Hotmail server was hacked, and my ElectriPlast@hotmail.com Email account and apparently a contacts list I never realized I had took a hit. I began seeing my account used as a source for random Emails to both individuals I’d corresponded with in the past, and to other unknown addresses.

Thinking that it was my system, possibly being set up as a clone—with some nefarious entity controlling my system in the background—I purchased a number of virus and registry cleaners to super-sweep my system of any and all buggy-type critters. Well, the first few runs didn’t uncover anything of import, maybe a bunch of cookies, but those were all known and harmless. Frustrated, I began vigorously searching for anything out of the ordinary, and deleting it, all in an effort to rid my computer, and Email account of all those irksome random Email pushes. Maybe I was a bit too vigorous in that regard. Before the Easter break, I ended up deleting a key component—my system froze in revolt, and subsequently died, taking my hard drive with it on its way to computer Hell. Heck, Safe-mode wouldn’t even help at that point.

It was then that I realized that I don’t conduct Email interactions using the Microsoft Office Exchange, because I often travel, I only use Webmail for such a thing—and with that being a fact, then the prospect of my system versus Hotmail’s server being hacked dropped well below the radar into the not likely zone.

The fact that my computer has been literally dead for almost four weeks—and the Email’s are still flowing is a physical testimony to that point.

After returning from Easter break (spent that with friends in the UK by the way), I began rebuilding a computer out of what was left over. Just this past Monday, I regained access to the net—and though still slow at times (with a few missing drivers needing to be uploaded), for the most part I’m back.

That said--here is where I put in my plug for Apple…their iPod was my primary source of contact with the rest of the world during this time—though my capabilities were extremely limited. If only I had an iPad instead…

Finally the point of this long and drawn out moan is I want to assure all reading that I don’t keep an Email list on file for contacts to the EB. I have never sold any such lists, either for profit or out of the goodness of my soul, to others interested in such a thing.

If you have received Email from the ElectriPlast@hotmail.com address and there is gibberish, or a spam-styled web link associated, then know it is not from me. Please, do me and yourself a favor and simply delete it. If that doesn’t seem to be enough for you, then I sincerely request that you just place this address on your Email filter's “ignore” list. Trust, I’ll have no hard feelings. In saying that, I am sorry that any of you who received these messages had to endure this as an issue to contend with. Were we able to simply hunt-down these guys, and maybe Telemarketers too, and get Pulp-Fiction "Medieval" on them (we’ve all had that urge at one time or another), life would truly be just.

‘Nuf said on that topic – thank you much for your understanding, and now that you are finished reading, please go ahead and check out Doug’s ElectriPlast Company Corner piece.

Cheers and best,

ElectriPlast: Green Machines, Electric Cars and ElectriPlast

2010-02-04T20:10:00.006+01:00

Can

Contracts

be Far

Behind?

By Vince S. ElectriPlast Blog Editor

“Electric is the big deal this year,” said a planner of one 2010 auto show.

Those “Green Machines”

During the past decade, fuel prices reached record levels as did concerns about the availability of oil. Also, global warming fears and the environmental impact of the internal combustion engine combined to make it a decade to remember for manufacturers and consumers. And whether you accept or reject the dialogue about global warming and climate change, they, too, were burning issues during the first decade of the 21st century. In the US, a bad economy combined with years of poor planning caused an upheaval in the Big Three. When the dust settled, Ford was the only auto company strong enough to continue without a handout from Uncle Sam.

Against this backdrop, it is no surprise that the global automobile industry opened this decade with an impressive array of alternative fuel vehicles, more than it had ever fielded before. These “green machines” were rolled out in increasing numbers to the delight of concerned consumers who are looking for innovation, better mileage, relief from high fuel prices and less impact on the environment. Green machines or alternative fuel vehicles are generally those powered by electricity, an electric-gas combination, Ethanol, natural gas, or biodiesel.

After years of development in secrecy, car manufacturers are unwrapping and displaying their alternative fuel vehicles to audiences eager to be weaned from the 100-plus year-old internal combustion engine. Indeed, conference and expo centers in major cities around the globe and stateside in Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Philadelphia, New York, Seattle and Washington among others, displayed more green machines with higher fuel efficiency and lighter materials than ever before. Some industry analysts argued that the dramatic shift to alternative fueled vehicles is a risky move for an industry still in recovery mode after years of turmoil and declining sales. But is it?

Electric Cars

To be sure, there are price, range, reliability and safety issues, all hurdles that must be overcome before mass production begins, but virtually every major auto manufacturer in the world has an entry for the green machine category. Domestically, Ford has the Fusion Hybrid, which gets 47mph in electric mode, and the Focus EV, which they plan to have on the road in 2011. Upping the ante, Ford also announced plans for a new hybrid plug-in. By 2020, Ford estimates that it will have up to two million Fords with electric drive systems and advanced battery packs on the road. General Motors, anxious to prove to Uncle Sam that the bailout funds they received were put to good use, plans to introduce the Chevrolet Volt, an electric car with a gas-assist to increase the battery range. Also, GM has other EVs on the drawing board. Chrysler’s EV entry is the Fiat 500. BMW, Nissan (and parent) Renault, Toyota, VW, and many others have alternative fuel vehicles in the queue to satisfy growing interest and future demands. In fact, it was reported that the oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffet, recently made a sizeable investment in the BYD, a Chinese electric car company.

Electric vehicles aren’t strangers to American roads, having been introduced here in 1895. Initially as popular as the cantankerous hand-cranked gas-fired vehicle, the EV became a sidebar to the automobile story when, among other conveniences, the electric starter was invented--no more hand-cranking and cussing, Uncle Bob--and Henry Ford’s new assembly line produced so many gas burners that the price was well within reach of John Q. Driver, who took to the roads in droves. Periodically, an EV would roll down the road, capturing the imagination of bygone years, but, for the most part, Detroit and consumers were preoccupied with gas burners. Recently, the need for cleaner technologies became more apparent and while electricity was an easy answer, the biggest hurdle for the EV has always been the battery. Numerous companies are working on batteries to fix that problem. Once solved, the greedy gas slurpers’ low-mileage-high-greenhouse-emission days will be numbered. Even if oil becomes cheap again, battery-powered electric vehicles are still the way to go for all of the above reasons. So, electric cars are the “big deal,” as our opening quote states.

Enter ElectriPlast

If electric cars, powered by battery packs are the wave of the future, then one of the solutions being offered to fix that vexing battery problem is ElectriPlast. In the 17 December 2009 statement on our commercialization progress, Integral’s CEO stated that we are working with “one of the largest battery manufacturers in the world” to replace lead fins with ElectriPlast molded battery plates. According to one major manufacturer, electric cars will create a market so huge that no one company will be able to satisfy the demand for batteries. That’s good news for battery companies, but better news for ElectriPlast because there is no competition for our highly conductive recipe. Integral fully intends to become a top supplier for EV batteries, battery cables, wire harnesses, and other electrical requirements.

For the past three years, Integral claimed to have positive ElectriPlast test results, but it was not until this month that results were finally published. EB believes that it was no fluke that those results surfaced after the appointment of Mo Zeidan. Moreover, we believe that Mo hit the “reset button” when he saw the original set of test results and requested that the retesting focus on the specific product areas mentioned in the December press release. Those results and the hundreds of companies who responded to them have been very encouraging. So, can contracts be far behind?

Stay tuned as this exciting story continues to unfold.

First of the

Independent

Test

Results

Published

By Business Wire
13 January 2010

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.

Intellectual Property and Patent Portfolio:

Patents based on our ElectriPlast™ platform continue to be approved by the US Patent office and now number 45. The Company has elected not to appeal those rejected (52), instead incorporating them into subsequent applications in order to better optimize the different uses arising from our base patent. Please visit our web site www.itkg.net for current approved Patents or visit www.usgov.patent.com.

[Quick EB Comment: I've been off on vacation during the New Year break. I thought I would have access to the Internet while away, that just didn't happen. Still, the holidays as a whole were a blessed relief, and losses of the past year were put in a proper perspective -- now here we are, and we find ourselves in the midst of a New Year with a host of New Possibilities... From what I have seen and heard, there is much to look forward to -- the following is an excerpt of a recent E-mail shared with one of your fellow shareholders. Here, with the E-mail already in progress, there are highlights of the things we can come to expect.]

EB Reader --

Trust, your feelings mirror my own at times, but not at the moment.

Recently, the new (soon to be announced) communications director for Integral reached out my direction with a request...

...Communications was one of the aspects he could make things happen with. He was also key in getting Mo involved with Integral, and reestablishing a viable game plan for the company...

With the addition of Mo, came stipulations which granted authority to act on behalf of the company's best interest when dealing with outside agencies...Mo (and "his" team) are allowed to flexibly move forward as needed.

"Doug" -- the new communications director -- is also granted such authority. His tasks are to recapture market confidence through disclosure and transparancy, and he does this in coordination with Mo and his endevors. A number of milestones are being established -- a true webpage is being generated; conference calls are being coordinated, and soon we may see videos highlighting Integral's ElectriPlast exploits. That last is key to the request I was recently contacted for -- Since I own (or owned) the YouTube "ElectriPlast" site, Doug requested to take that over for such a purpose.

Shortly after forwarding this email, I attempted to pass-over my YouTube account. This exchange, unfortunately, fell through due to unintended complications in the transfer (so I in fact continue to own that site). Still, a video sample which might interest those reading (linked below) was later posted at a related "Doug-owned" YouTube site "ElectriPlastInfo"

While that is not proof that any of what I have stated will occur, I am again open-minded enough to wait and see just what could happen--at least for a little while.

I cannot ask you or any others to light the same candle and place it in the window though--we have been here too long and have seen too much for that much blind faith. What I can do is offer my assessment though.

Doug is sincere. He agrees, the company could have been something by now, but also notes that key pieces of the puzzle were not yet in place to make all things great. Mo, and both his contacts and vision of customer service and the way forward for the ElectriPlast material is something we missed. Mo's intention is to establish a relationship with the interested customers (from cradle to grave). If that means that he has to in-bed one of his team within that company to ensure best use and practices take place for the ElectriPlast material's application--then that is the way it will be played, and it will ensure both client confidence, and greater returns as more uses and applications are uncovered. As for marketing as the communication aspect, Doug himself intends to take on that wave. He promises to be more reactive, responsive and most importantly approachable.

[EB Publisher's Note: Over time, I have worked to encourage the reader interaction on the EB Blog through our Comments feature. We have had some interesting discussions. It offers some (myself included) a chance to vent, a chance to highlight speculation, rumor and yes--in some instances an opportunity to spead false rant as valid truths.

While it may be frustrating for some to see that I let this engagement take place, the reality is--it's a public forum, and while it might at times take on a political Town Hall atmosphere, ladened with he-said/she-said heated discussions, or worse, with fallacies and falsehoods bantied about as though they were fact--when shown in the light of day (or reality), these utterances readily are seen for what they truly are.

Today, one of your fellow EB Readers decided to shine some light on recently shared fallacy, using a most uncommon tool "Researched FACT".

As a friend of mine often says when he sees it happen "Good Jaaab".

Reader's Comments Challenge Fallacy

There have been a lot of people dissing the fact that batteries can be made from conductive plastic. Here is the real truth. Please read this:

http://www.osti.gov/accomplishments/macdiarmid.html

Here is part #1

Until 1987, the billions of batteries that had been marketed in myriad sizes and shapes all had one thing in common. To make electricity, they depended exclusively upon chemical reactions involving metal components of the battery. But today a revolutionary new type of battery is available commercially. It stores electricity in plastic.

Plastic batteries are the most radical innovation in commercial batteries since the dry cell was introduced in 1890. Plastic batteries offer higher capacity, higher voltage, and longer shelf-life than many competitive designs. Companies are testing new shapes and configurations, including flat batteries, that can be bent like cardboard. Researchers expect that the new technology will free electronic designers from many of the constraints imposed by metal batteries such as limited recharging cycles, high weight, and high cost.

The development of plastic batteries began with an accident. In the early 1970s, a graduate student in Japan was trying to repeat the synthesis of polyacetylene, a dark powder made by linking together the molecules of ordinary acetylene welding gas. After the chemical reaction took place, instead of a black powder, the student found a film coating the inside of his glass reaction vessel that looked much like aluminum foil. He later realized that he had inadvertently added much more than the recommended amount of catalyst to cause the acetylene molecules to link together.

News about the foil-like film reached Alan MacDiarmid of the University of Pennsylvania. He was interested in non-metallic electrical conductors. Since polyacetylene in its new guise looked so much like a metal, MacDiarmid speculated that it might be able to conduct electricity like a metal as well. MacDiarmid invited the student's instructor to join his team in the United States, and this collaboration soon led to further findings. The University of Pennsylvania investigators confirmed that polyacetylene exhibited surprisingly high electrical conductivity.

Scientists recognize that various materials can conduct electricity in different ways. In metals, electricity is simply the manifestation of the movement of free electrons that are not tightly bound to any single atom. In semiconductors, like those that make up transistors and other electronic devices, electricity is the drift of excess electrons to form a negative current or, alternatively, the drift of missing electrons or positive "holes" in the opposite direction to form a positive current. Typically, the excess electrons or the holes are donated by impurity or dopant atoms.

MacDiarmid's team reasoned that the ability of polyacetylene to conduct electricity was probably promoted by trace impurities contributed by the catalysts involved in the Japanese student's process. In their laboratory, MacDiarmid's team confirmed that it was possible to chemically dope polyacetylene to create either mobile excess electrons or holes. That these electrons and holes could move explained how polyacetylene was able to conduct electricity.

Here is part #2

When polyacetylene was exposed to traces of iodine or bromine vapor, the thin polymer film exhibited still higher electrical conductivity. The researchers discovered that by purposefully adding selected impurities to polyacetylene, its electrical conductivity could be made to range widely-behaving as an insulator, like glass, to a conductor, like metal. The discovery that plastics can behave like metallic conductors and semiconductors was a chemistry first.

The key breakthrough leading to practical application as batteries occurred in 1979 when one of Professor MacDiarmid's graduate students was investigating alternative ways for doping polyacetylene. He placed two strips of polyacetylene in a solution containing the doping ions and passed an electric current from strip to strip. As expected, the positive ions migrated to one strip and the negative ions to the other. But when the current source was removed, the charge remained stored in the polyacetylene polymer. This stored charge could then be discharged if an electrical load was connected between the two strips, just as in a conventional battery.

Chemically, the plastic battery is different from conventional metal-based rechargeable batteries in which material from one plate migrates to another plate and back in a reversible chemical reaction. In a conducting plastic battery, only the stored ions of the solution move-the plates are not consumed and reconstituted. Since conventional battery life is limited by the number of times the plates can be reconstituted, this difference portends a longer recharge-cycle lifetime for the plastic batteries.

One potential application for polymer batteries is in battery-powered automobiles. Two key measures of a battery's suitability for automotive application are the power density, which determines acceleration and hill-climbing ability, and the energy density, which determines the number of miles that can be driven between charges. Polyacetylene's power density is 12 times that of ordinary lead acid batteries. Its energy density is also higher-about 50 watts-hours per kilogram versus 35 for lead acid batteries. Although plastic batteries are competing against other advanced development batteries with similar capability for this application, they have the unique potential to be made of low-cost, environmentally-benign materials. Supporters feel that a polymer battery can be part of the battery-powered car of the future.

Polyacetylene, however, is not an ideal battery material. It degrades in air, is chemically stable only in liquid solutions, and is brittle and not amenable to injection molding methods used for forming plastic parts in production. The University of Pennsylvania team, along with industrial associates licensed to use their technology, searched for conducting polymers of greater structural strength, thermoplasticity, flexibility, and lower costs. Allied Corporation synthesized a new material, polyparaphenylene, a black powder capable of being formed into plates by hot pressing, that could be doped to conduct electricity. Several other potentially suitable plastics were discovered thereafter.

One such material was polyaniline. In 1984 and 1985, the University of Pennsylvania group received patents on the use of this material for rechargeable batteries. It is inexpensive, and, unlike polyacetylene, it is stable in both air and water. Polyaniline is the material used in the plastic batteries that first became commercially available in 1987.

In just 8 years, plastic batteries went from laboratory discovery to commercial availability, a remarkably fast evolution. With advances continuing at a rapid pace, there are great opportunities for increasingly important applications of this new technology.

Alan MacDiarmid shares the 2000 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Alan J. Heeger of the University of California at Santa Barbara, and Hideki Shirakawa, University of Tsukuba, Japan," for the discovery and development of conductive polymers."

ElectriPlast: Is it Time to Appoint a Real Board of Directors?

2009-10-09T20:42:00.015+02:00

It May

Be

Sooner

Than

You

Think

By Vince S.
ElectriPlast Blog Editor

“Be the change you want to see in the world” --
Gandhi

[Editor’s Note: Nearly three years after Integral Technologies first mentioned the possibility of hiring a Board of Directors, the ElectriPlast Blog is calling out the Boyz in Bellingham. But can a case be made for a group of independent decision makers to help guide our company?]

Backstory

Several years ago, when Integral Technologies crooned about looming prospects for contracts and commercialization, there were fleeting references to a Board of Directors to facilitate the important decisions necessary to guide the company from a developmental stage to a revenue-generating entity. The dollar signs aren’t hitting our bottom line yet, but the time could be ripe to move the BOD concept into the realm of reality.

A real BOD would add a critical layer of governance to Integral and be consistent with SEC and Sarbanes Oxley rules by providing transparency and communication for the shareholders. Also, it would signal to the world that we have passed another milestone on the way to ElectriPlast becoming the success we always knew it would be. A real BOD? How about any BOD? Actually, the rules for incorporation require publicly traded companies to have a Board of Directors. While Integral meets that requirement, our BOD consists of just two people.

Although management has enlisted the aid of many advisors--Preston Gates Ellis, QuanStar, IRG, Jasper Rubber, etc.--most of the day-to-day decisions have been made by our two-person BOD, Bill Robinson and Bill Ince. Moreover, other than the aforementioned corporate advisors, only once during the 13 year history of this company has management reached outside of the Bellingham compound to ask for shareholder input, and that was to increase the number of authorized shares. So, is it premature to talk about implementing a real Board of Directors for Integral? I am not so sanguine as to think that the Boyz are on it already, but they should be.

Do we need a real Board of Directors?

Messers Robinson and Ince have made every critical decision as Integral morphed from the original antenna company, weathered a frivolous law suit, hired the person who would invent ElectriPlast, directed scores of patents through the Byzantine patent process, and connected with the manufacturer who has been a powerful partner in the development our intellectual property. To be sure, false starts, missteps, poor communication and rooky mistakes have marked the ElectriPlast trail which, in all likelihood, probably would have evolved faster had we had a board of critical thinkers to provide oversight during our journey.

Integral is not yet a revenue-generating company. Even so, the argument can be made that a consortium of directors, with expertise in areas relevant to our space, are necessary. ElectriPlast is a remarkable product that has the potential to generate many hundreds of millions in revenue. That being the case, a well functioning Board of Directors, with experience and expertise in the many areas affecting Integral’s area of operations, can serve as a top level advisor for the benefit of all shareholders, while becoming a strategic asset for Integral Technologies. Eventually, the need will exist for a Board of Directors. Why not now at this critical juncture?

Who and how should they be appointed?

As a microcap, Integral Technologies should start small, with bylaws and corporate governance policies that call for 8-10 directors, and expand the board as the company grows. Members of the Board of Directors would be nominated by the CEO and approved by the shareholders to cover traditional governance areas. As an example, the Integral BOD could include:

· William R. Robinson, CEO, Integral;
· Douglas R. Mathias, CEO, JARCO;
· Dian Griesel, CEO, IRG or her designee;
· A member from The QuanStar Group;
· A member from Wellington Management;
· And additional Directors from the automotive, manufacturing, legal, accounting, electrical engineering, and/or related sectors.

Furthermore, Mo Zeidan would be an excellent Director because of his expertise in the automotive sector, unless conflict-of-interest regulations prohibit such an appointment.

Initially, the BOD subcommittees could include the:

· Audit Committee;
· Compensation and Management Committee;
· Finance Committee; and the
· Nomination and Governance Committee.

The number of subcommittees could be expanded consistent with Integral’s growth and SEC governance and reporting responsibilities.

What can a BOD do for Integral Technologies?

Other than a sorely needed breath of fresh air, a knowledgeable, expert and experienced Board of Directors would, among many others:

· Provide confidence that critical decisions are not being made in a vacuum;
· Enhance the credibility of Integral Technologies and ElectriPlast in the worldwide marketplace;
· Ensure that Integral is on course with its policy directives and is fulfilling its mission statement;
· Help management realize growth strategies and revenue projections;
· Assist with the myriad of decisions related to the proper management of Integral;
· Focus on the strategic direction of the company; and
· Facilitate succession planning, should that become necessary.

As long as Integral continues with the two-person Board of Directors format, shareholders will continue to raise their eyebrows when SEC reporting, such as the most recent 10-K, reflects increased benefits, bonuses, and allowances for the Boyz. While most will acknowledge that Bill Robinson has occasionally used his own personal funds to finance Integral until other financing was available, the two-person system perpetuates the perception of a lack of transparency as well as a disregard for the shareholders.

With a full BOD, shareholders will have the assurance that the Directors voted in by the majority of the shareholders will only make decisions that are in the best interests of the company. At this stage in the company’s development, the ElectricPlast Blog supports a real and functioning Board of Directors for Integral Technologies similar to the model in the above paragraphs.

Finally, the National Association of Corporate Directors could serve as a resource in helping steer Integral through the process of finding the best people for the new Integral Technologies Board of Directors.

It’s time to get on it, Boyz!

ElectriPlast: Thin Gruel or a Prelude to a Banquet?

The Veil

of

Silence

Finally

Lifted

By Vince S.
ElectriPlast Blog (EB) Editor

[EB Editor’s Note: After nearly 17 months without so much as a sneeze from the Boyz in Bellingham, Integral Technologies seems to be on a news binge lately. In less than 45 days, they have issued two interesting press releases, 14 July and 19 August; participated in a Podcast; were the focus of a Spotlight article by Stock Guru; and were featured in a Canadian Plastics article.]

Queue Oliver Twist

The 14 July press release was remarkable in that it broke a long corporate silence, but there was little there that veteran stakeholders hadn’t heard before. In fact, I was reminded of the scene in Oliver Twist when the undernourished Oliver, having finished his small allotment of gruel, said to Mr. Bumble, “Please sir. I want some more.” ITKG shareholders, having waited nearly a year and a half for news from Bellingham, expected and deserved more. But, like Oliver, what we got was thin gruel. Well, not everyone agreed with my ‘thin gruel’ assessment. In fact, one of my correspondents (remember Jay?) found more to like in that press release than I did.

Although not a defender of Integral management, Jay liked the press release. In fact, he feels that it will set the stage for more releases because several things were touched upon with so little detail that future releases would be have to more expansive. After all, he said, “when you haven't put out press in a year and a half, the market can only digest so much at once.” For the first time, in a very long time, Jay said that the CEO “seems to have things put together rather well. I anticipate much more frequent communication than what we have been receiving.”

After a 17 month ‘drought,’ we should expect more frequent communication?

On Target?

Yes. My correspondent was dead on target! One week later, the Investors Relations Group e-mailed me their weekly newsletter, which included a Podcast interview of William Robinson. (A link to the Podcast is posted on EB.) In the interview, Robinson recalled the genesis, evolution and progress of ElectriPlast as it slowly winds its way toward contracts. Among other things, he appeared upbeat when he said that we are ready for commercialization and that things would take off during the second half of 2009. (But, Bill! That’s what you said in 2007, 2008 and the first half of 2009! In fact, if you check your calendar, we are well into the second half of 2009!) So, where’s the beef?

Then, there was speculation about the appointment of a “Detroit group” to represent Integral in the Motor City. After all, ElectriPlast can be used in a wide range of connectors, fuses, wiring, shielding, batteries, cabling and other electronic components that keep Motown’s assembly lines moving. As if in response to the speculation, Integral issued another press release on 19 August hailing the appointment of Mohamad (Mo) Zeidan, formerly the Chief Technical Officer and Director of Hybrid Engineering at Lear. (Lear is the leading global supplier of automotive seating systems, electrical distribution systems and electronics.) As a consultant to Integral, Mo will help integrate ElectriPlast into the automotive parts supply chain. Apparently, he has seen the test results and strongly endorses ElectriPlast. “My research into ElectriPlast’s physical and electrical attributes as substantiated by independent test results demonstrates that ElectriPlast is an extraordinary technology possessing unique qualities.” (I’m beginning to like Mo already!)

So far, my correspondent (Jay) is batting 1,000! Still, another media event occurred on 20 August when Integral was the focus of a Spotlight article by Stock Guru. Some would argue that any equity can “buy” a place in the Spotlight, yet when one looks at the rules for placement in the Spotlight, one has to wonder if this is yet another signal. Be that as it may, it is consistent with the projections of my four-out-of-four correspondent!

And finally, there was the Canadian Plastics article, published on 24 August, about the potential of ElectriPlast to replace many of the heavier components in automobile batteries. Way to go, Jay. That’s five-out-of-five!

So, there you have it. Seventeen months of silence, then BAM, five media events in a row. Are these the news events that will help the market’s digestion, according to Jay? Well, he did call these. Stay tuned, folks.

The Bottom Line

Still, the two most important releases—that will certify that ElectriPlast works—are yet to be made. The independent test results which, to quote one eloquent, but weary Letter to the Blog shareholder, are “the Birth Certificate, the Passport, The Bible,” will be shared with the scores of companies who have prototyped ElectriPlast. These results will validate claims made by Integral regarding conductivity. Based on all accounts, the results will not disappoint.

Secondly, of course, are contracts from the antenna, shielding, battery and wiring companies mentioned in the 14 July press release as well as numerous other companies.

We are not there yet, but, clearly, our ‘thin’ gruel is morphing into something far more palatable than that which the wretched Mr. Bumble served Oliver and his pals in the workhouse.

Bring it on, Mr. Bumble, sorry, Bill!

Electrically conductive plastic set to give processors a jolt

Most of us don’t think about our car battery until we have to replace it. And at that point that we realize how heavy it is, and probably pause to wonder why – with plastic car parts becoming lighter by the day – the battery still feels like something that Arnold Schwarzenegger would have trouble lifting.

The short answer is that, because of the electricity coursing through it, there’s never been a way to make a lightweight car battery from plastic.Until now, that is. A new moldable conductive plastic called ElectriPlast, being brought to market by development company Integral Technologies Inc., has the potential to replace traditional material like lead or stainless steel in a car battery, reducing the weight by up to 30 pounds.

According to William Robinson, Integral’s chairman and CEO, ElectriPlast’s ability to conduct electricity results from a unique blend of small single pellets design-compounded with metal fibres. The technology was six years in the making, and wasn’t achieved without false starts. “In the end, the key was to find a polymer that had a low dielectric loss tangent,” Robinson said. “We’ve now patented not only the pellet, but also the process of having it under one pellet.”

FIRST STEPS

The use of ElectriPlast as a weight-saving replacement to lead and steel in car batteries is about to be tested. “We’re working with a battery manufacturer to change the weight factor within a car battery by making the body completely from plastic,” Robinson said. “The project has advanced to the CAD drawing stage, and can ultimately help the auto industry reach the goal of having the same amount of power, but with a lower load factor.”

With a shift towards a “green” economy in North America, Robinson believes that ElectriPlast’s characteristics, such as weight savings, cost savings, design flexibility, conductivity and non-corrosiveness could lead to the product becoming an important part of new transportation trends.

And this may be just the beginning. Integral is currently working to apply their technology toward the creation of antennas, apparel, appliances, computers, electrical and heating systems and more, Robinson said, and at present there are already almost 120 patents filed around ElectriPlast and its use.

PARTNERSHIP PAYS OFF

A key element in developing ElectriPlast has been Integral’s partnership with Jasper, Ind.-based fabricator Jasper Rubber Products. “They’re our sole manufacturer and their involvement allows us to remain focused on developing the science behind the ElectriPlast material,” Robinson said.

And the fruit of this development is a product with very simple operating instructions for processors. “The ElectriPlast pellet can be custom made for any use, regardless of how simple or complex the application, or of the ratio of metal to polymer required in the pellet,” he said. “The material is available as either an additive or resin, and the customer doesn’t have to do anything other than convey it to the processing machine.”

Robinson has no doubt that the years of sweat equity are about to pay off. “We’ve got the material; it’s just a matter of finding companies that are aggressive and want to move forward,” he said. “If we can get our foot in the door, I think that people will look at us very seriously.”

Product Development and Commercialization

Integral Technologies, Inc. ITKG (“Integral”), and Jasper Rubber Products (“Jasper”) through their respective CEOs, William Robinson and Douglas Mathias, today made the following comments relating to the ElectriPlast™ product(s).

Product Advancement:

Over the past two years Integral and Jasper have perfected the manufacturing process of our patented ElectriPlast™ Technology for multiple applications in widely diverse industries. To advance our manufacturing procedures and product commercialization we have selected our eight most popular resin formulations for testing of their physical and electrical characteristics by an independent laboratory. These tests will be standardized and can be conducted on any material that incorporates ElectriPlast Technology. They will provide independent validation of the specific physical and electrical characteristics of ElectriPlast™.

The results are now being compiled and will be shared with our customers and the public. The amount of testing data received is voluminous and detailed. It is currently being deciphered, complied and condensed into a format for dissemination.

These tests will allow our customers to understand how doping of the resin changes its characteristics, giving Corporate Engineers and Scientists a better understanding of how to utilize ElectriPlast™ in the material specification stages rather than read about generalities in a news article or on our web-site. For example, does the resin tensile strength become harder or brittle depending on the amount of additives added? How does the material accept or reject electrical current? Customers will now be able to compare formulations using ElectriPlast with their products and demonstrate the superiority of all our Patented and Patent Pending Property, including, among others applications, shielding, antennas, batteries audio, heating appliances, automotive, military, circuitry, resistors, connectors and wiring. These tests will also assist our customers who wish to conduct their own research and development work on the ElectriPlast™ Technology.

Intellectual Property Portfolio:

Our intellectual property is comprised of our patented core technology, ElectriPlast™, and the “patented product family” of the patented core technology. By “patented product family” we mean the variety of applications which we have developed based on ElectriPlast™. In order to better optimize the different applications of our core technology we now combine some of these applications to better utilize costs, applications and final approvals. Currently, we have filed 119 U.S. patent applications: 41 have been issued, one has been allowed but is pending issuance, and 77 have been filed and are pending approval. Only 40 have been rejected. Please visit our web-site http://www.itkg.net/ for a current listing of patents approved and applications pending.

Sales and Development Activities:

Integral and Jasper are in the process of securing regular customers. Despite the global economic slowdown this past year we have continued to develop and expand our diverse customer base and are on the verge of finalizing numerous sales. Many of our potential customers include the recognized leaders in their respective industries. The utilization of the ElectriPlast™ materials is as wide and varied as its potential product applications

We are providing several large antenna Companies with specific blends of ElectriPlast™ pellets. These Companies are working with Jasper’s manufacturing facility to facilitate their needs. One Company has made a final prototype and is testing the antenna for commercialization. We are providing a blend of ElectriPlast™ pellets for a molded part in a new military application for shielding. The part has proven to be superior over all other competitors for this application. We are providing a battery manufacturer different ElectriPlast blends for molded parts in a standard 12 volt battery. The purpose is to lighten the battery providing for a longer battery life to meet the demands of “green” vehicles. We are in the process of sampling ElectriPlast™ as a revolutionary way to manufacture electrical wire. This revolutionary concept shows great promise and is receiving significant interest from wire manufacturers. Although management is not able to be definitive on contract dates we believe several current projects under development will come to fruition soon.

Opportunities for ElectriPlast™ in a Green Economy

With a shift towards a green economy in the U.S., management believes that the unique characteristics of ElectriPlast™, such as weight savings, cost savings, design combination and flexibility, conductivity, non-corrosiveness, could lead the product to become an integral part of “green” transportation.

In conjunction with the foregoing, Integral and Jasper have developed a relationship with a specialized consulting company based in Detroit that has many years of successful experience in the automotive industry. Their testing of the ElectriPlast™ material has convinced them of the value of using ElectriPlast™ Technology in fields of Automotive, Hybrid Technology, Batteries, Marine Applications and Motorcycles. We expect an agreement to be executed with this consulting firm in the very near future.

As mentioned in an article entitled “The Next Detroit” in the Forbes magazine issue of June 8, 2009, the new Detroit will be comprised of carmakers and their suppliers building energy efficient cars, made in America. These hybrid cars will not only be fuel efficient but have a number of components made of recyclable material. Management believes that ElectriPlast will play an important role in the U.S. auto industry’s new designs.

Integral Technologies

Integral Technologies, Inc. (http://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. Currently, we have filed 119 U.S. patent applications, 41 of which have been issued, 1 which has been allowed but is pending issuance and 77 of which have been filed and are pending approval and 40 of which have been rejected. 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.

100 Days

and

Counting

Tempus Fugit

By PK
ElectriPlast Blog Publisher

[EB Publisher’s Note: Recently, I received an email from the EB Editor who reminded me that we hadn’t published an article in over 100 days. This will bring us up-to-date!]

Revisiting my last article, “The ElectriPlast Ride: Ups and Downs Included,” I stated that it was time for Integral's CEO to step up to the plate and deliver some news. It has been far too many times that I and others have heard positive statements from Integral's Investor Relations (IR), only to have those statements come to naught. Back in March, many shareholders who were in touch with Integral's IR, Scott MacArthur, were told to watch for a significant “something” that was about to take place (we thought a purchase agreement or something equally important), but definitely “something” of significance.

Well, March winds blew, April showers ushered in May flowers, and June will be history by the time this piece is published, and here we are, still watching the world pass us by, as we sit in "wait-mode."

Now, should I say that this is all Scott's fault—no. As the company's IR mouthpiece, he can only do what he is told. The burden for these false starts really rests on the shoulders of Integral’s CEO, William Robinson. But, does it do any good to wag the finger of blame? Heck, it feels good, but at the end of the day, no good comes of it. We need to begin holding the feet of Integral's CEO and CFO to the fire. 100 days later and where are we? Has anything significant really changed?

Over a hundred days ago, and with well over two score companies looking for the results from ElectriPlast material validation tests before making a commitment to purchase, we still wait to hear about a prospective ElectriPlast purchase. Over a hundred days ago, we expected that the material validation tests (that should have been completed last year), were about to be made public. Over a hundred days ago, we (the shareholders, stakeholders, partnered companies and investors) should have gotten an update from Integral, with a focus on the prospects and targeted milestones to come. Over a hundred days ago, we should have heard a roar from Bellingham, but didn't. In fact, it has been 18 months since the last official statement, a press release, came from the dynamic duo in Bellingham.

And silence sucks, Integral.

A number of noteworthy events have occurred in the business sector during the last 100 or more days. Stimulus money is flowing to industries, communities and people, some relevant to the future of this company. The once dire economic outlook has begun to show signs of improvement, and the global recession is said to be near the bottom and ready to rebound. U.S. Taxpayers have become co-owners of two of the top three U.S. automakers. So, here we are 100 days after the fact, and everything in our world is changing dramatically---except, of course, Integral’s lack of transparency. This compels me to put this simple question to all reading.

What has Bill Robinson, Integral's CEO, or Bill Ince, the company's CFO, actually done?

Where is their report card?

During this past 100 plus days, I didn't just fade off into obscurity. Actually, in addition to my day job, I had to leave the scene for a spell to take part in some work for the Department of Defense. During that time, I also traveled back to CONUS to attend my mother's funeral. In short, while it was far from fun time well spent, I was engaged. Engaged enough to still maintain a commentary with EB readers on the Blog, and to respond to incoming email traffic.

I am sharing this so that it is clear that I am not sitting in my parent's basement, waiting desperately for the next message to cross my screen. I have an extremely busy life, but still I find the time to attend to the business surrounding this investment.

So, once again, I find myself asking the same questions as before. What have Bill Robinson or Bill Ince actually done? It could be that they are rewriting the book on the art of negotiation and the craft of the deal. But, clearly, they haven’t been communicating with us.

All right, I've slammed the Boyz from Bellingham, and vented my discontent at their apparent lack progress, lack of communication, and lack of foresight and perspective. I have said it before: Bill Robinson (BR), your Kung-Fu is not sooo good, but until you are replaced by a real management team, we will have to deal.

So, here we are, 100 days and counting, and what is really happening behind the curtains?

Well, word is (which means rumor more than anything else--remember we have a communications problem at play here) the material testing should be, or is completed at this time, and the results will be, or is being shared with prospective clients. Word also has it that Jasper Rubber Company (JARCO) continues to see ElectriPlast as a revenue multiplier and the way of the future. As a result, the prospect of ElectriPlast cabling may become a market reality sooner than later. ElectriPlast batteries are also an avenue being pursued, along with parts placement in one or more of those car companies in which John Q. Public recently became a joint-owner.

In one of my last commentaries posted a week or so ago, I mentioned that a meeting between BR and Doug Mathias recently took place in Washington state. While the content of that meeting still remains vague, I am lead to believe that issues discussed may surface very shortly. Now, before I fall into the trap set by BR and his IR mouthpiece, let me reiterate that I am speaking solely of my impression based strictly on rumors. Logic would say, speaking now would serve Integral's leadership well. And that is where logic ceases to function (it happens often when the subject of the rumor is "BR" and his possible actions).

And there you have it -- still at 100 days plus, and still in a wait and see mode.

I continue to look to JARCO to pull it all together, and with the flush of stimulus dollars in the niche markets, now would be a great time to introduce an ElectriPlast product to the world.

Fortune favors the bold, and we could use some " bold " by Integral management at this time.

ElectriPlast: A "Hot" Product for Cold Weather

Recipe

for Cold

Gear

By Vince S.
ElectriPlast Blog Editor

[Blog Note: This is another of a series of articles based on ElectriPlast patents. It is dedicated to plfminthemiddle, a shareholder who suggested this topic a few months ago.]

Imagine that you are a musher in “The Last Great Race on Earth,” the world famous Anchorage to Nome Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, a grueling 1,150 mile dash over snowy mountain ridges, frozen rivers, dense icy forests, and desolate windswept tundra.

Or, as an avid hunter, you are in the wilds of northern Saskatchewan, braving temperatures as low as -28°, hoping to bag the whitetail that will make the editors of the Boone and Crockett Record Book mention you and your trophy deer in their next edition.

Or, you’re a member of a PBS film crew shooting a video on life in the extreme cold areas of the great north, where blizzards often bring temperatures of minus 20 degrees.

Whatever the sub-zero temperature, what is the common thread that is critical to the safety of each of the stalwarts in the above scenarios? Absolutely! Clearly, the answer is extreme cold weather survival gear, without which it would not be possible for those intrepid individuals to survive in extreme cold weather climates. Yet, every year, numerous people world-wide are exposed to prolonged freezing temperatures, and many lose their lives because of improper protection.

Cold weather drains body heat. Too much heat loss can cause the inner body temperature to fall to dangerously low levels, causing hypothermia and death. As early cultures pushed deeper into extreme cold areas of the globe in search of game, they learned to defeat the elements by making protective clothing from the furs and skins of animals. Over time, dramatic changes in clothing have seen the introduction of man-made fibers such as nylon, polyester, Lycra®, and Gore-Tex®, among others, all of which have made protective clothing drier, warmer, and better insulated. As the technology evolved, those who live, work and play in extreme cold climates--native peoples, sportsmen, natural resources explorers, military and law enforcement personnel, gas, oil and construction workers and others--have greatly benefited.

Several ElectriPlast patents held by Integral Technologies are very likely to join the long list of technologies that increase the comfort and protect the lives of those who work or play in extreme cold climates.

ElectriPlast: The Next Generation of Cold Weather Gear

ElectriPlast-based woven cloth or webbed materials can be sandwich laminated to one or more layers of materials such as Polyester, Teflon, Kevlar or other resin-based materials to provide protection against the elements. This conductive fabric may then be cut into desired shapes and sizes, such as parkas, trousers, tents, sleeping bags, footwear, etc. ElectriPlast fabrics can be used to make better, cheaper, less bulky protective clothing. Moreover, when laminated to various rubbers or plastics, warmer and better waterproofed boots, gloves, Anoraks, and other extreme climate gear will result.

Another advantage of gear made with ElectriPlast: It can be connected to batteries embedded in the clothing (think heated jackets, pants, hats, gloves, socks, and the like) or to batteries in snowmobiles or Arctic vehicles like the Tucker Sno Cat, the Foremost Nodwell or the Piston Bully. Moreover, the conductive qualities of ElectriPlast will bring “heat to your seat,” the seat of your vehicle, that is, not to mention your steering wheel.

ElectriPlast Means Smart Cold Weather Gear

As ElectriPlast-based materials enter the textile manufacturing mainstream, this multi-billion dollar industry will be forever changed, reflecting “smarter” clothing that will incorporate heating systems, wearable computers, communications capabilities and medical sensors, to name a few.

So, whether you intend to compete in the Iditarod; squeeze off the shot that bags that monster whitetail buck; or film polar bear habitat for PBS, chances are ElectriPlast will be there in the future to make your extreme cold weather protective clothing more comfortable.

According to a recent article, Jump-Start the Stimulus: Build A Better Battery, published on the Internet site, Newswise, “…Integral is currently working to apply their innovations toward the creation of antennas, apparel, appliances, audio and visual devices, automotive products, batteries, cables, computers, electrical and heating systems, and more.”

“Given some of the surreal figures being tossed around as part of the stimulus, it is important to note that ElectriPlast is not just a theory but proven technology,” says CEO Bill Robinson, “we know we’re onto something special.”

Well, sir, the ball is now in your court, so to speak, to prove exactly what we are “on to” by producing a contract.

During recent Congressional hearings concerning America’s troubled automotive industry, much of the criticism lodged against Detroit centered around the Motor City’s generations-long unwillingness to embrace fuel efficiency and environmentally sound practices. Attempting to redress that imbalance, President Obama’s economic stimulus and recovery package yokes the nation’s financial future to greener and more environmentally sound practices. Included in this landmark piece of $787 billion legislation is a $40 billion provision intended for energy efficient and renewable programs, including $2 billion earmarked for advanced battery systems.

“Lighter, more efficient batteries could hold the key to a more economically and environmentally sound future,” says William Robinson, chairman and CEO of Bellingham-based Integral Technologies Inc., a development-stage company that may have created a new building block for a better Detroit. “While you can’t change the basics of how a battery works, you can change the materials that are used to create it.”

Integral has done just that, developing a moldable conductive plastic named ElectriPlast, a polymer blend that can be used to conduct electricity. ElectriPlast consists of small single pellets design compounded with metal fibers that, when poured into a molding machine and shaped, may help streamline production of batteries and electronics.

With ElectriPlast replacing lead or stainless steel, batteries could be created that would be 20 to 30 pounds lighter than traditional batteries used today; on average most components would weigh 80 percent less than standard metal counterparts. Lighter doesn’t only mean faster, it also means greener. Today, decreased vehicle weight translates into lower fuel consumption. Tomorrow, a better, more efficient battery likely holds the key to widespread popularity of hybrid and electric cars, and the nation curbing its dependence on fossil fuels.

After spending years perfecting hundreds of formulations and blends of the material, Integral is actively showcasing ElectriPlast to various industries. There are more than 118 patents filed around the product and its use. Along with their official manufacturing partner, Jasper Rubber Products, Integral is currently working to apply their innovations toward the creation of antennas, apparel, appliances, audio and visual devices, automotive products, batteries, cables, computers, electrical and heating systems, and more.

“Given some of the surreal figures being tossed around as part of the stimulus, it is important to note that ElectriPlast is not just a theory but proven technology,” says Robinson, “we know we’re onto something special.”

The ElectriPlast Ride: Ups & Downs Included...

2009-02-22T19:20:00.018+01:00

Enjoy the Ride...

By PK
ElectriPlast Blog Publisher

Well, it has been more than a few days since rumor indicated an unspecified event would occur. Now there could be explanations for what we have yet to see, but going down that road would be a disservice to all reading, especially if they were to come from me... Instead, I'll let Integral speak to that.

A Common Sense Moment

Yes, the economy has had an impact. What was thought of as a correction many months ago has turned into something far more significant! Where does that leave those invested in Integral Technologies? Well, the potentials are still present. What we don't have is the tolerance or the luxury of doing business as usual. The company's management has been collecting pay over the years, and we are still shy of the goal. Were this football, and these coaches, then the solution would be apparent. But this is not, and we have to deal with what we have, but rather than making due, shareholders and stakeholders alike must pin them down and force them to do their job -- for those missing the meaning: JOB #1 -- MAKE A SUCCESS OF ELECTRIPLAST.

If that means the CEO or CFO must pass up on an annual BONUS, or sacrifice their paychecks to see the company stay solvent even 1 more day, well -- to be honest, that is what I expect them to do.

Will it come to that? I truly don't think so. I think the writing is on the wall, for the next four to eight years, our country will be investing in a Green Economy. Infrastructure will change to accommodate such a shift, as will manufacturing.

ElectriPlast was already leaning that direction, and as the economy picks up, with a modest restructure of company goals and objectives, Integral, Jasper Rubber, and ElectriPlast should be well on their way to meeting the emerging challenges with leading edge solutions...

Alright, enough yammering from this corner -- attached above is a quick and dirty video I spent a few minutes piecing together. Granted, it does not go into detail, but it touches base in a unique way on the ElectriPlast story we have each played a part in...

ElectriPlast: When “Green” is Also Golden

2008-12-23T06:30:00.007+01:00

By Vince S.
ElectriPlast Blog Editor

( Editor’s Note: This article was inspired by email from a long-term Integral shareholder. )

When “Green” is also Golden

If anyone still harbors doubts about the interconnectivity of global financial markets, I suggest they focus on how Wall Street, the banking sector and the mortgage industry produced a ‘perfect storm’ that has severely impacted financial and credit markets around the world. Moreover, this crisis has reduced corporate and individual wealth by several trillions of dollars, a calamity that will have consequences for many years to come. One of the sidebars to the market turmoil is the dire situation in which the Big Three automobile manufacturers find themselves. Yet, despite the doom and gloom, and the real promise of a bleak 2009 for many, this financial crisis represents a dramatic opportunity for Integral Technologies and Jasper Rubber to turn “green” into gold.

Around the World and Back to Detroit

Now that gasoline prices have been whacked nearly two-thirds, and car dealers are overstocked with output from Detroit, the credit meltdown has frozen out all but a few consumers. Moreover, some who can afford to buy are concerned about the availability of parts and service, if the Big Three are forced to reorganize or consolidate. The bottom line of all this turmoil is that Detroit is facing the biggest transformation since Henry Ford’s assembly line nearly 100 years ago. Yes, you heard that right! When oil was near $140 a barrel last July, car sales went through the floor; now, a barrel of crude is below $40 and US auto sales remain on life support, but for different reasons. And Detroit, as we know it, will be changed forever. Be that as it may, there is a silver lining behind this very dark cloud.

In a recent email, Jay ( his nom de plume ) wrote, “I’m very pleased that EP material is ready and is poised to launch just as a new administration with strong environmental commitments is about to take over. If plans go as expected, there will be huge investments, government and private, in solar, wind, hybrid, electric innovation and products. Any product, especially environmentally constructive ones, that can help reduce dependence on foreign oil will be funded and encouraged. Along with investments in infrastructure, the intention is to make the switch, irreversibly, away from internal combustion engines and the toxins they produce. That will be a major cultural shift.”

Green to Golden

Speaking of toxins and carbon footprints, let’s apply the rules of logic to the following premise: ElectriPlast is reported to be 40 percent lighter than aluminum, so imagine the weight reduction if ElectriPlast replaces aluminum in a substantial number of automotive parts. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the average US car was a scale-busting 4400 pounds in 2003, the last time those figures were available. Knock 40% of the poundage off of your 2009 four door V6 Blubberbutt and you’re burning a lot less fuel to move that badboy down the interstate, friends!

And consider the environmental implications; when a pound of aluminum replaces two pounds of iron or steel in a car, circa 20 pounds of CO2 emissions are reduced over the typical lifetime of that vehicle. Now factor ElectriPlast into that formula! My, my, but we are looking mighty “green,” which equates to a “golden” bottom line for Integral and JARCO. This scenario will be consistent with the expected environmental and energy conservation efforts during the next administration.

My friend Jay has whacked it straight down the fairway with his "green" connection. Moreover, he concluded that in the near future, there will be great opportunities for new technologies, particularly those that have a beneficial impact on the environment. How prescient, Jay! It seems that several major players in the auto parts and battery sectors are so impressed with ElectriPlast and the clean “green” connection that they are ready to close deals for ElectriPlast. And it goes without saying that whatever is left of the US auto industry after congressional and/or Oval Office mandates will clearly look for lightweight materials that translate into better fuel efficiency. ElectriPlast will play an important role in that area.

ElectriPlast is the Future

“ElectriPlast,” according to Jay, “is where Jasper Rubber sees the future. To that end, they have made a sizeable investment in money and effort, and they have dedicated a production line and staff to produce EP for client prototyping. EP is where they have put their money and their efforts. It is the future of JARCO. Somehow that makes me smile.”

We at the EP Blog couldn’t agree more, Jay. Once the marketing effort ramps up and the world focuses on the “5,000 uses for ElectriPlast,” per Tom Aisenbrey’s recent comments in the May 2008 issue of Medical Product Manufacturing News, JARCO will have to add more machinery and staff to keep pace. All three of the Boyz in Bellingham have two million plus shares of this badboy--no telling how much is owned by the folks at Jasper--so there is plenty to motivate both companies to double their efforts to close deals.

So, it is not a matter of "if," but "when" the first contract is inked. And despite the fact that we missed the much vaunted “go-to-market-year,” as publicly predicted by Messrs. Robinson and Mathias, that will be soon!

Bring on 2009!

ElectriPlast: In Search of Management's Better Angels...

2008-12-09T23:00:00.002+01:00

By PK
ElectriPlast Blog (EB) Publisher

A few weeks ago, I wrote a piece that was designed to:

· Provoke EB readers and shareholders to vent against the lack of transparency, and the poor communications and management style at the top of Integral Technologies; and to

· Offer Bill Robinson a reality check on the horrific job he has been doing (or more aptly, not been doing) for the past two years.

Out of that effort came many thought-provoking commentaries and links, information we will likely pursue at a future date. Meanwhile, what has happened in Bellingham since my last article? Pretty much the same thing that has happened for the past two years; a confused and often contradictory storyline continues to emerge from Investor Relations. And Bill Robinson continues to neglect the needs of the shareholders, while waiting for news from Jasper.

On the other hand, Jasper continues to make head way. They are making progress in their negotiations and research and development with a number of companies who find these as compelling times to showcase the potential of ElectriPlast.

Doug Mathias, the JARCO CEO, maintains a finger on the pulse of each of these positive activities, according to knowledgeable sources, who also indicate that quite a few of the companies with whom we are negotiating are in the final stages of completing agreements.

This and other information is steadily reported to Bellingham but, for some reason, nothing more than IR’s rosy-colored interpretation of the day seems to make it out of that black hole. Even news that was formerly shared as a press release, such as new patents, etc., is no longer deemed worthy of mention. (NB: Integral had 16 granted patents when they last used a press release to announce a patent. Since then, 24 additional patents have been granted, but not announced by the company.)

Over the past months, I have tried to wrap my mind around the mindset of the two Bills. I think on the fact that they have a novel product which, according to those in Jasper, excels at what it is supposed to do, and I see "the two Bills" doing nothing to assist in furthering its potential.

In my last tongue-in-cheek article, I noted that Bill Robinson was missing and had been on an extended vacation for the past year and a half. Well, one wonders how much of that was truly tongue-in-cheek and how much was truth.

* * * * *

Bill, if you have ever read any of the articles on the EB, then stop reading now and act instead: Answer the questions your loyal shareholders and co-owners of this company have been anxious to hear.

* * * * *

Tell us why the price per share has dropped from $4.10 to its current low without word or comment or justification from you or any of the principals at Integral? I mean, that was only two short years ago… And never once, in all that time, has it been mentioned. As a matter of fact, let’s stick to just that point alone. Please explain why you feel justified in continuing to draw a paycheck and bonuses, while the stock tanks?

And while we are at it, let’s talk about the agenda behind such actions. I mean, no one purposely allows their child to fail, and no one allows their children to be so thoroughly neglected to the point that their once robust forms waste away before your very eyes.

Fortunately, for long disappointed shareholders, our saving grace is JARCO, and its visionary leader, Doug Mathias. But where they are the manufacturing and licensing agents for ElectriPlast; it is Integral Technologies that stands tall as the company in which we own stock. They are the Intellectual Property owner of ElectriPlast, and they are the ones who are supposed to manage the public’s perception of the product as well as the stock.

So, Bill, we have seen your best efforts over the past year and a half, and many have been hurt by the results, with ITKG being worth less today than three-quarters of its former value. Your lack of stewardship has served to lose the momentum the company once had. Also, your management style has stifled the ability of our company to compete on a multi-market platform.

What can be done now?

Well, I won’t ask that you do something that you have found difficult, if not impossible to do in the past. Asking you for openness would be a waste of time. Asking that you establish a game-plan and share it with your shareholders seems a bit much, considering your reluctance to speak to them over the past two years. Instead, I urge you and Bill Ince to look toward your better angels and face up to the fact that you have failed. That being the case, it is time to reconsider establishing a Board of Directors to put this company on the right track.

Will such a move help more than hurt?

Any move along these lines would serve all interested parties far better than the silence and ineptitude we’ve seen to date.

Once again, to those reading, consider this an open forum and feel free to offer a comment.

ElectriPlast: Have You Seen This Man???

2008-11-16T11:00:00.016+01:00

ElectriPlast Blog (EB) Publisher's Note: I know that it has been overly long since our last posting to the EB. This was not due to inattention, or the fact that those staffing this Blog have chosen to opt-out, or have lost faith in the potentials surrounding ElectriPlast's future. No, we are still here--with you--kicking ourselves and wondering at Integral's "missing-man" mystery strategy.

Our heartland contacts near the pillars of power at Jasper, have kept their fingers close to the pulse of things, and while we could have included their insights on any number of postings on the EB for benefit of those reading--instead we chose to step back and allow Integral to take the lead on the “care and feeding” of its stakeholder and investor cadre.

I guess I could have announced that we were taking just such a tact, but to be honest, we—-like you-—thought more in the form of press releases and announcements would have appeared long before now. It is not as if things have been dead on the manufacturing and sales front. Touching base with JARCO, one could easily uncover the business leanings and prospects that that company is gearing toward. Why Integral has chosen to lay low is an out-there question that should be addressed to Bill Robinson. That is if he can be found...

To that end, the EB staff had prepared a number of EB articles, but tabled each as we did not want to be the news makers--nor did we intend to be the first to step into the breach only to end up with egg on our faces on the off chance our contacts had erred in their reports.

We also prepared articles to address the current Economic Crisis, and the prospective impacts foreseen on that front -- again, waiting on Integral to take the lead (as they should have well before now), we—-again like you-—saw and felt only silence.

Hence the toung-in-cheek MISSING Poster you see now. Let's treat this like a treasure hunt, and afterwards feel free to use this forum to express your thoughts, and help us all in keeping a wary eye out for Integral's (Missing-in-Action) CEO.

That is, if he ever emerges from his undisclosed hidden lair...

ElectriPlast: Shareholders Slam Integral Commo Policy

2008-07-23T22:04:00.005+02:00

Silence

is Not

Golden

By Vince S.
ElectriPlast Blog Editor

EB Publisher's Note: Recently, the EB Editor conducted an informal survey, polling a number of ITKG Shareholders on various Internet Boards, Forums and other Venues. This article is a direct result of what you, or your fellow stock holding stakeholders have shared. So, what say we all see just what "The Survey Says"...

"We need consistent and transparent shareholder communications."
ITKG Shareholder

Hello, Bellingham? Is Anyone There?

Nine months after the famous joint press release in which Integral CEO Bill Robinson boldly proclaimed 2008 as the year our ElectriPlast technology would be commercialized, shareholders and EB readers are still waiting. By now, we expected a steady stream of press releases, a CEO Letter to the Shareholders, supportive statements from Investor Relations, and the opening of the new website, ElectriPlast.com. Indeed, the EB desk should have been in crisis mode dealing with the abundance of news extolling the virtues of our disruptive conductive polymer!

That's the way it should have been.

Instead, we are eight months into 2008 and no commercialization! Even worse, there have only been two insipid press releases* from Bellingham ((*)now "three" counting yesterday's 'nail-biting' article), and they were issued six months ago! Since those two releases, there has been no information out of Bellingham other than the obligatory SEC filings. Loyal Longs are hard pressed to think of a period in Integral’s long history during which shareholders have been so isolated by management. And based on their survey results, shareholders are ticked off at being shut out. We’re not talking about receiving material or inside information; that would be illegal! We’re talking about common courtesy; information that shareholders in any publicly traded company expect as a right of ownership!

There’s Nothing Like a Survey to Get it Out in the Open!

Anger and frustration, the ITKG shareholder’s lot, really spilled out during a recent confidence survey. A small, but critical, block of ITKG shareholders were participants in the survey. They are critical because they hold or influence 266 investment accounts and nearly eight million shares (18% of the shares outstanding), and they vented their anger about Integral’s managerial and communications style! To no one’s surprise, the issue that grated the majority of shareholders is the abysmal lack of communication between Bellingham and the shareholder base. Survey responders, many of whom have held their shares eight years or better, roundly castigated Integral management for its abject silence. In fact, several shareholders said that some other penny stocks they own have taken extraordinary steps (initiating Blogs, sending company letters on a regular basis, etc.), to communicate with them, the very people who helped fund their company. That isn’t the case with Integral Technologies, so some shareholders said they would make this grievous lack of communication their main gripe at the first shareholders’ meeting.

Shareholders believe in the concept and the technology; they have great confidence in the Jasper involvement; and many believe that this will be the commercialization year, based on Jasper CEO Doug Mathias’ comments. Such confidence does not extend to Integral management. As a result, Bellingham was blasted for its narrow-minded approach to the communication issue. Shareholders expressed pent up frustration and anger in a series of strongly worded comments: “communicate more,” “a letter to the shareholders every six weeks,” “I don’t perceive that management cares for us,” “No investor with this company should be reading new information about contracts, business relationships, patents, etc., in a trade magazine,” “I am invested in another…startup and I hear progress reports at least every two months,” “Quarterly updates…,” “…more letters to shareholders,…” “If a previously announced statement of progress has been made and not met, an explanation should be given,” “quarterly management updates,” and on the litany went. Harsher words were spoken by some, but they cannot be quoted here. Clearly, ITKG shareholders are NOT happy with the manner with which Integral communicates with them.

So, What Do Shareholders Like?

Despite strong shareholder feelings against the Boyz in Bellingham, there were mostly positive feelings for Tom Aisenbrey, whose genius made ElectriPlast possible. Sentiment ran high that this, indeed, would be our commercialization year. In fact, many survey respondents thought Q2 would see the first contact announcement, even though there has been no buzz from Bellingham. Most of the respondents said that the relationship with Jasper Rubber was critical to the success of ElectriPlast. Doug Mathias, CEO of Jasper Rubber, was viewed in a highly positive manner, and is the main reason many shareholders still believe in this partnership and continue to hold this investment. Per one contact, “Mathias has a record of success in business. He is receptive, innovative and a hard working organizer…he has my vote in the capability department.” We would be hard pressed to apply any of those adjectives to Integral management! Moreover, Jasper recently stated that it has “committed the necessary resources to bring commercial success in 2008” to ElectriPlast. That was a table pounder, a significant statement of support and another boost to those who know how to read the many small signs that appear here and there.

The Bottom Line

The vast majority (92%) of those who responded to the survey cared more about receiving general (not material) information on a regular basis than the fact that we are 88% down from our all time high share price. They demand to know the status of the ElectriPlast. Com web site. What happened to the notion of a Board of Directors? Why can’t shareholders hear about new patents and media releases before their general release? Is there a reason, other than arrogance and rudeness, why we don’t hear from Bellingham on issues of interest to shareholders?

The bottom line is that Integral Technologies had better have plenty of answers for that first shareholders meeting. To paraphrase one shareholder, "I’m here because I believe in the product, not the personalities in Bellingham." Based on the survey results, that shareholder has plenty of company.

Stay tuned, folks!

ElectriPlast: A Message from Integral Technologies

Lightening the Load

of the Friendly Skies

Lightening the Load of the Friendly Skies

Heavy thoughts are weighing down the aviation industry. In the first half of last year, jet fuel averaged approximately $80 per forty-two-gallon barrel; for the same period in 2008, that barrel averaged over $132. If these trends continue, the nation's airlines will collectively spend over $60 billion this year on fuel, more than five times what they spent in 2002. It should come as no surprise, therefore, to learn that eight airlines have gone out of business since November 2007.

Each and every pound shed from a plane saves airlines fourteen thousand gallons of fuel each year; it is no wonder, then, that in order to stay competitive the airline industry needs to find ways to lighten up. Recent measures and proposals made to lighten the load of the friendly skies have included:

-- Charging for each piece of checked luggage as a way of discouraging passengers from over-burdening flights
-- Replacing seats and food carts with new, lighter-weight models
-- Instructing load planning, baggage handling, and ramp personnel to better distribute cargo to ensure that aircraft have the most fuel-efficient center of gravity
-- Carrying less water in airplane bathroom faucets and toilets
-- Eliminating printed pilot manuals in favor of onscreen computer displays
-- More frequent power-washing of jet engines to reduce the drag caused by dirt and debris

"While the aviation industry struggles with these and other Draconian measures, the answer may lie in lighter, more environmentally sound engineering materials," says William Robinson, CEO of Bellingham-based Integral Technologies.

Integral has developed a moldable conductive plastic, named ElectriPlast(TM), a polymer blend that can be used to conduct electricity and is, on average, 80% lighter than copper or other metals used in wiring and battery designs. Consisting of small pellets of plastic-wrapped metal fibers, ElectriPlast does what no plastic has done before: it can carry electrical currents as capably as copper. Lightweight, versatile, and inexpensive to produce, ElectriPlast may usher in a new dawn of electronics and transportation.

"This family of highly conductive polymers may have all 'the right stuff' for coping with issues such as size, capacity, cost, and fuel savings," explains Robinson. "With gasoline at nearly $5 a gallon and sky-high airline prices, ElectriPlast may lighten the burden for consumers and the aviation industry." For more information visit www.itkg.net.

ElectriPlast: Of Rumors and Whispers

2008-06-02T06:01:00.031+02:00

Are we

REALLY

closer to

Commercialization?

By PK
ElectriPlast Blog (EB) Publisher

“A rumor goes in one ear and out many mouths.”

Chinese proverb

This proverb is an appropriate launch pad for me to dish about the lack of news from Bellingham. It wasn’t too many months ago that the now famous joint press release implied that 2008 would be a very productive year that would "lead us to commercial success." Well, based on the official news so far--two puny press releases--we suggest changing the Chinese Astrological Calendar to include "The Year of the Snail."

Put another way, we get more vibes out of the four stone presidents on Mount Rushmore than we get out of Bellingham. Even so, the grapevine is abuzz with rumors and whispers about possible deals.

Rumors and Whispers

To be sure, friends, these are confusing times compared to years past. Since the announcement of our ElectriPlast technology some five years ago, Integral has kept its shareholders informed with an average of five press releases a year, the rare CEO update and occasional articles about the virtues of ElectriPlast. As modest as Bellingham’s communications output was, at least we had some indication as to where we were heading, if we were going according to the compass and whether we were on the cusp of great things.

What's different this year? Simply put, it’s the lack of news from Bellingham! With most of the second quarter of our “commercialization year” behind us, the Boyz in Bellingham haven’t seen fit to tell us what’s happening. After all, transparency is a keystone of good governance, corporate responsibility, and accountability, so says Sarbanes-Oxley. But as far as we, the shareholders (owners, really) of Integral are concerned, they must have acquired a copy of Harry Potter’s Cloak of Invisibility! They are nowhere to be seen or heard. To be sure, the first shareholders meeting will be interesting because many of us are annoyed due to the protracted periods of silence by management.

And we’re not expecting the family jewels or inside information! Numerous microcaps show respect for their investors by communicating with them on a regular basis, however trivial that shared word might be. Integral could publish a CEO update containing general information; it could send the articles it releases to the media to shareholders with a brief note; it could discuss the status of the long exposed ElectriPlast.Com web site. There are other non-proprietary issues that could be included, but they don’t even inform us when new patents are received. How bad is that?

So, What are they Buzzing About?

While the foregoing are issues we would like addressed by our CEO, Bill Robinson, we realize that much cannot be discussed due to proprietary relationships, first-to-market issues and the competitive nature of the various industries with whom we are partnered. Be that as it may, rumors are rampant in Integral shareholder circles as well as in the ElectriPlast Blog readership, all of which counts for hundreds of shareholders and/or interested parties around the world. Here is what they are buzzing about:

-- Many business relationships, not all at the deal stage, are very close to fruition.

-- Some of these “near” deals are MAJOR in scope. How major? JARCO can crank out 50,000 pounds of ElectriPlast per month, but scuttlebutt claims capacity can be increased by several factors--and this may well be needed to meet all of the rumored demands.

-- Many of the interested companies are said to be pillars in their respective industries, including Fortune 500 entities.

-- ElectriPlast is said to have left a lasting impression on many former skeptics who didn’t think “plastic” could conduct electricity. Now, it is no longer a question of if it can conduct electricity, but to what other operational applications can they apply it to.

-- The cost of raw commodity metals is having an impact on availability and pricing. (See ElectriPlast: A Limited Supply of Copper in a Demanding World.) EB Editor Vince has detailed this aspect numerous times in the past -- he's right on all counts. As the cost of these metals rise, the attractiveness of ElectriPlast will increase many fold.

-- Some time ago, ChangeWave predicted the path ElectriPlast would take as the impact of its entry into the marketplace attracted attention. Those predictions may soon become reality and shareholders will be in for a fast, fun filled ride.

And there you have it folks! Our stock price is low, but our expectations are high; this company will make it sooner than later. One might look at the lack of news and argue that Integral’s reluctance to share information is due to previously raised false hopes. (Remember Knowles?) Also, that a measured approach would better serve all concerned. On the other hand, we shareholders are also stakeholders and behind the scenes risk-takers who have a right to know where we stand. However, whatever the prevailing view, the dice are in Mr. Robinson's hands, and the knowing rumors whisper that no matter how the dice roll, high or low, we shareholders are destined to win.

Now, to answer the question I raised in the sub-title. Are we really closer to commercialization? Absolutely! In fact, as I listen to the rumors and whispers coming in to the ElectriPlast Blog desk, I am convinced that we are much closer to commercialization than ever.

So where does that leave us??? Come on, Bill. The ‘natives’ are getting restless!

Stay tuned…

ElectriPlast: A Shareholders Open Letter...

Bellingham!!

Your

Shareholders

are Calling...

By An ITKG Shareholder
29 May 2008

Publisher's Note: Below is a letter from one of your fellow shareholders, presented (with permission) as an Open Letter to the management of Integral Technologies in Bellingham, Washington. This passage is the continued interaction from the comments page, at the bottom of the last article posted (linked here).

If you sense a similar chord of truth in the words of this shareholder, then by all means, feel free to allow your voices to resonate in unison as you reach out to, and demand better from the company that has lagged in its responsibilities to you. The same company that you, as an investor, have a valid stakeholder ownership in. PK sends...

I agree with you a 1000% PK.

We the shareholders are basically ignored and often treated like garbage. Why?? We are the people helping to pay everybody's salary and bonus day in and day out year after year after year. We believe and support TA's dream. That is why we are here, Tom's dream. That is the reason I first became involved.

Many of us have supported this revolutionary technological creation for many, many, years with most of those years spent in a dark communication-less oblivion. Why?? We are not the bashers and day traders, we are the believers. We are the supporters. We buy the shares on the open markets and are not privy to the 1/2 price Private Placements. We are the real shareholders. The believers. Day after day after day.

Why is there no energy, warmth, and excitement surrounding this company? Why is there not a brilliant hi tech ElectriPlast.com website, up and functioning to enlighten the world? One filled with pictures and possible EP uses with all of the electricity and excitement that a technology like this possesses? We know that there is an ElectriPlast.com. Why is it not open to the world?

I was promised over a year ago, by IR, that the Discovery Channel piece would be on the current website to be shared with the world. Why is it not there??

A year ago we were all promised that 3rd party testing results would be announced. Where are they? Why doesn't the world know just how great these various formulations conduct electricity? We don't desire to know the secret formulations. We just want the world to know how revolutionary this stuff is. Why must one sign an NDA in order to receive the stats of how the EP conducts using copper or aluminum or how it conducts heat or RF signals, or WiFi, etc.

We're the shareholders, we're the believers, we would like to know the various stats and if they truly are what I believe them to be, then why can't the entire world know??

How would such positive news negatively affect the presentation to prospective clients of EP? How would sharing great product statistics harm this company or it's IP?

Wouldn't such positive stats create a tidal wave of excitement??

During the last year and a half our share price has gone from $4.00 to $.70 yet many of us are still here because of TA's dream and the true possibilities of just what a compound like this could do for the world. Personally, I'm still here because of the whole-hearted involvement of Jasper Rubber. This company's total involvement is the thread of hope for me. Yet we are shareholders of ITKG and it is the fiduciary responsibility of ITKG, not Jasper, to keep us informed and to answer some of our questions. We just want to continue to believe, to support, and to play a teeny tiny part in the ElectriPlast story. I have invested a lot of money (and angst) in Tom's dream and rather then feel a part of something big and revolutionary I feel cold, distant, and a part of nothing.

I fear that our next official press release will be announcing another dilution of shares in the form of another Private Placement (of which most all of us LL's will not be asked to participate in).

Why??

Lightening The Load of the Friendly Skies

If you've flown recently you've probably noticed that airlines are doing everything possible to lighten the load in an effort to use less fuel. But could the key to reducing aviation industry fuel costs lie with lighter planes themselves?

While historically fuel expense has ranged from 10 to 15% of U.S. passenger airline operating costs, according to the Air Transport Association it is currently running between 30 and 50%. With the skyrocketing price of fuel, and no decreases on the horizon, airlines have begun taken steps to lighten freight load. These measures include removing flight phones, ovens, and more, steps that go well beyond streamlined meals and beverage cart services.

A possible long-term solution may be to dramatically re-engineer aircrafts with the latest in design technologies, advances that utilize only the smallest and lightest materials. Bellingham-based Integral Technologies may have discovered what will someday be thought of an epochal building block for the transportation industry.

The company has developed a moldable conductive plastic, named ElectriPlast™, a polymer blend that can be used to conduct electricity or as an antenna and is, on average 20% lighter than copper. Examples where this plastic advance could be used include cable and wiring--which currently account for miles in length, and tons of pounds in mammoth transportation structures--thus allowing for significant weight savings.

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," explains Thomas Aisnebrey, Inventor and General Manager for the company. "The material 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."

After spending years perfecting hundreds of formulations and blends of the material, Integral is actively showcasing ElectriPlast™ to various industries.

There are more than 118 patents filed around the product and its use. Along 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.

"This vast family of highly conductive polymers can be molded into virtually any shape or dimension that any other plastic, rubber, or other polymer can be molded into," explains Integral CEO William Robinson. "With the adoption of ElectiPlast™ into the R&D cycle, manufacturers will be able to seriously lighten their load."

ElectriPlast: A Limited Supply of Copper for a Demanding World

Making

the Case

for

ElectriPlast?

By Vince S.
ElectriPlast Blog Editor

[Blognote: Copper, the second most conductive metal (after silver), was featured in a number of recent articles related to copper’s increasing demand and its soaring price. One article predicted a world shortage of copper in the next two decades; another explored the extensive use of copper in automotives, electrical generation, motors and other conveniences; yet another pointed to the soaring economies in emerging markets and their demand for electricity as a factor in the depletion of copper. Clearly, ElectriPlast cannot replace the worldwide demand for copper; however, given our array of patents and the timely appearance of these articles, ElectriPlast appears to be at the juncture of a ‘perfect storm’ of opportunity.]

Moving Up on the Commodities Market!

Commodities (oil, copper, gold, silver, et al.) play such a critical role in commerce that it is impossible to understate their importance. While new oil fields are being discovered in the Gulf of Mexico, Baja California, off the coast of Brazil and in other parts of the world, it is rare when new copper deposits of significance are discovered. Due to high demand in rapidly expanding nations like Brazil, Russia, India, and China (the BRIC economies according to Goldman Sachs), copper, is being consumed at an alarming rate.

China, the largest consumer of copper, used about 9 billion pounds in 2007, a 9% increase over 2006. Moreover, according to Morgan Stanley, the Middle Kingdom will spend about $350 billion to expand its electrical capacity in the next two years. That will place an additional demand on copper reserves, and we all know the economics of the supply and demand theory. The price of copper has soared 400% since 2003. Worst yet, commodity traders expect the price of copper to reach $8 to $10 per pound in the next decade, reflecting a premium on availability. And don’t forget about the infrastructure needs (power, transportation, telecommunications, water, etc.) of the BRIC economies. They will need copper, copper and more copper. Yet copper reserves are not unlimited. To the contrary, studies suggest that there are not enough reserves to meet even today’s demands beyond the next several decades. Also, recycling isn’t the answer because copper for electrical and electronic uses dominate the US market, but fully 26% of copper products are lost in landfills!

So despite sizeable reserves in US and Chilean deposits, are we just decades away from the end of the 10,000 year old copper “boom”?

What Does this Have to Do With ElectriPlast?

Clearly, ElectriPlast can not reverse the depletion of copper reserves on the planet, nor can it replace many uses for copper; however, as a less expensive conductor of electrical current, ElectriPlast just might extend the life of this amazing metal by serving as a potent substitute for many applications including the following.

--The average new home in America consumes 400 pounds of copper.
--Each new conventional automobile uses about 50 pounds of copper; hybrids like the Ford Escape use close to 250 pounds of copper.
-- Boeing uses 9,000 pounds of copper in each Jumbo Jet; lesser amounts in smaller jets.
--A locomotive engine uses about 16,000 pounds of copper.
--New power grids (think BRIC) require millions of yards of electrical cables.

Extrapolated worldwide, these numbers are even more astounding. It is here at the intersection of supply, demand and expediency that ElectriPlast will make a difference. The automotive sector, for instance, is ready for ElectriPlast.

Why?

It’s in the numbers!

What Numbers?

There are over one billion people in the world who earn enough to be able to afford a car or light truck. They currently drive, curse, crash and buy the 700 million cars on the world’s highways, cloverleaf’s, beltways, secondary thoroughfares, paved roads and bumpy, potholed trails. Moreover, if Tata Motors of India delivers on its promise of a $2500 four-passenger car, automotives on the world’s thoroughfares will increase dramatically as will the squeeze on fuel, the environment, the quality of life and the planet’s resources. Some experts expect India to overtake the US as the world's largest car market by 2038; China will do so ten years sooner). But as the BRIC nations go, so will the demand on copper as well as the energy required to producing the components that go into an automotive conveyance.

Given this scenario, why wouldn’t companies like Ford, GM and Chrysler want to get out in front of these daunting issues by reducing their hybrid load of 250 pounds of copper by using a conductive plastic like ElectriPlast? It makes sense anyway you look at it. Copper is expensive and getting more so each year. It is a major product in a legacy locomotion system that, for environmental and other reasons, is ready to be replaced.

Whether it is the automotive industry, the power generation sector or any of the other numerous industries in which Integral Technologies has patents, this company is situated to make the most their technology.

The Last Line on the Ledger

Wire harnesses, battery plates, battery cables, audio wire or power grid cable wire, rugged laptops or any other application, we are truly at a juncture of an opportunity. Many companies are interested in this technology and that will become apparent shortly.

Shareholders are advised to use their conscience to determine if they have the ability to hang tough on this unique opportunity.
