Integral Technologies, Inc. engages in the business of researching, developing and commercializing new electrically-conductive resin-based materials called ElectriPlast.

ElectriPlast

The ElectriPlast polymer is a compounded formulation of resin-based materials that are conductively loaded, or doped, with a proprietary-controlled, balanced concentration of micron conductive materials, and then pelletized using the company’s patented manufacturing process. The conductive loading or doping within this pellet is then homogenized using conventional molding techniques and conventional molding equipment. The end result is a product that could be molded into any of the infinite shapes and sizes associated with plastics, is non-corrosive, and could serve as an electrically conductive alternative material to metal. ElectriPlast is a patented non-corrosive, conductive plastic pellet that replaces the metallic component used for shielding and conductive devices, thus creating applications with a 40-60% weight reduction. ElectriPlast's intellectual property rights and 55 issued patents, of which 51 of those patents not yet expired, and 10 pending applications cover both the material and its applications. Various applications for ElectriPlast include antennas, EMI shielding, lighting circuitry, switch actuators, resistors, batteries, medical devices, thermal management and cable connector bodies, among others. ElectriPlast could be fabricated into various shapes or dimension using capital investment equipment, such as injection molding and extrusion versus high cost stamping methods. PolyOne Corporation (PolyOne) is the company’s global manufacturing partner of its proprietary ElectriPlast product line (www.polyone.com). PolyOne provides specialized polymer materials, services, and solutions with operations in specialty polymer formulations, color and additive systems, polymer distribution and specialty vinyl resins. They are also a highly specialized developer and manufacturer of additives, liquid coolants, and fluoropolymer and silicone colorants. The company’s technology possesses a multitude of applications in various industries. These include the auto industry, the aerospace, consumer electronics, and commercial aviation industries, among others.

Patents/Trademarks on Technologies

The company’s intellectual property portfolio consists of approximately fourteen years of accumulated research and design knowledge and trade secrets. The company has sought the United States (U.S.) patent protection for majority of its ideas related to its ElectriPlast technologies. The company has filed 117 non-provisional U.S. patent applications, 55 of which have been issued as patents, with 51 of those issued patents not yet expired. Of the 117 non-provisional applications filed that have not issued as patents, 9 are pending, and 53 are no longer pending. The company has filed 12 Canadian patent applications, 2 of which have issued, with 10 no longer being active. The company has filed an International patent application, which published on September 25, 2014, claiming features of the company’s capsule. The company filed national stage applications based on this PCT on September 15, 2015 in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, China, Japan, South Korea, Europe, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, India, Thailand, Philippines, Singapore and Australia. In 2015, the company also filed new U.S. and PCT patent applications for a Bipolar Plate and Method of Making and Using Same with a U.S. publication date of November 3, 2016 and a PCT publication date of November 10, 2016.

The company has a registered U.S. trademark for ELECTRIPLAST, a registered U.S. trademark for INTEGRAL (with design), and a registered U.S. trademark application for WHERE LIGHTWEIGHTING STARTSTM. In addition, the company has a registered mark for ELECTRIPLAST in China, Japan, Korea, Europe and Taiwan. In addition, the company has a registered mark for WHERE LIGHTWEIGHTING STARTS in Europe, Japan and Korea.
