Integral's shares are thinly traded on the OTC Bulletin Board and has a market capitalization of about $31 million, with 5,000 shareholders.

Integral said Electriplast can be used in antennas, shielding, lighting circuitry, switch actuators, resistors, medical devices, thermal management and cable connector bodies, among others and represents a bright future for so many applications.

Also known as Plastena, this inexpensive material conducts heat, electricity and radio- frequency energy nearly as well as copper, yet it can be mixed with rigid or flexible plastics and formed into just about any shape plastic can take on.

Thomas Aisenbrey is the inventor of "ElectriPlast," and arrived at Integral, Bellingham, from Panasonic three years ago and holds two patents on the substance and has 44 more pending.

Electriplast isn't on the market yet, but trials are going on at four Fortune 100 companies, and major handset makers have expressed strong interest.

A patent search revealed nothing like it, cleared the way for intensive development, third-party testing and commercialization perhaps as early as this year.

An independent testing lab verified some of Aisenbrey's claims.

The company plans to introduce its Electriplast technology on a global scale.

Polyone Corporation featured inherently conductive polymers (ICPs), which have similar electrical conductivity properties to metals and inorganic semiconductors, but are lighter, easier to process and more environmentally friendly at last year's National Plastics Expo (NPE). ICPs can be used in corrosion-resistant coatings, anti-static fabrics and packaging, EMI/RFI shielding, and electronic products.
