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

Initial Test Data

In January of this year Integral released its initial test results of the ElectriPlasta™sa" patented method of pelletizing various resins and fibers. The first pellet blend tested used PA66 (nylon with stainless steel fibers) which revealed that the pelleta™s EMI/RFI shielding properties ranged from 70dB @ 30MHz to 90dB @ 1.5GHz over a wide frequency spectrum from DC to UHF, outperforming our competitorsa™ 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 ElectriPlasta" Based on Initial Test Data

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

Expanded Resin and Fiber ElectriPlasta" 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 customersa™ internal marketing strategies and to expand ElectriPlasta™sa" 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 ElectriPlasta™sa" patented pelletizing method, the table shows all eight distinguishable resin and fiber blends we testeda"some unique in the industrya"together with their targeted industry sectors.

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 Integrala™s internal lab where we have established full capabilities for research and development of ElectriPlasta" applications. Testing was performed consistent with all applicable Industry Standards: ASTM-D638, ASTM-D790, ASTMa"D256, ASTMa"D648, ASTM-D792, ESD STM-1 1.11, ASTM a" D257, FTMS -101C/4046, ASTM-4935, ULa"94.

The test results for these new seven pellet blends are all congruent with Januarya™s test of the first blend, demonstrating that the patented ElectriPlasta" pelletizing process continues to prove itself out and achieve industry milestones. When molded, ElectriPlasta" 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 ElectriPlasta" blends, exceeding all of our current customersa™ 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 resinsa™ current molecular structure.

ElectriPlasta" 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 customersa™ manufacturing process that will continue to offer users of Integrala™s technology the ability to change from heavy metal parts to new lightweight ElectriPlasta" parts.

Future Development and Business Awards

Integral continues to expand and patent its blends of ElectriPlasta" 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.

Integral Technologies

Integral Technologies, Inc. ([ www.itkg.net ]) is the developer of an innovative electrically conductive resin-based material called aElectriPlasta",a 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 ElectriPlasta" and multitudes of different applications pertinent to a wide variety of industries. No assurances can be given that all patent applications will be approved; however, to the extent that patents are not granted, we will continue to attempt to commercialize these technologies without the protection of patents. Various examples of industries where ElectriPlasta" 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 ElectriPlasta" technology on a global scale.
