Integral Technologies Inc., an emerging light-weighting leader and its wholly-owned subsidiary ElectriPlast Corp., has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with its long-time nickel plated carbon fibre (NiC) manufacturer, Conductive Composites.

The agreement establishes a relationship in which Conductive Composites will set up a separate manufacturing line, in a new facility, dedicated to producing NiC exclusively for ElectriPlast. Integral will be supplying the equipment and Conductive Composites will provide turnkey technical and operational support in manufacturing the NiC, according to a press release.

Integral’s patented ElectriPlast manufacturing technology produces an industry-leading conductive thermoplastic pellet used for a variety of EMI shielding applications in the automotive, cable & wire, and consumer electronics industries.

Doug Bathauer, Integral’s CEO said, “We have extensively researched a variety of conductive fibres critical for the manufacture of ElectriPlast and found Conductive Composites to be the ideal specialty nickel plated carbon fibre supplier for us.”

Nathan Hansen, president of Conductive Composites said, “We’ve created an incredible NiC product line, and there is no other company in the world capable of matching our quality and product consistency. Demand for our product across many different markets can make it challenging to meet the timely needs of a growing company like ElectriPlast.”

Integral engages in the discovery, development, and commercialization of electrically conductive hybrid plastics used primarily as raw materials in the production of industrial, commercial and consumer products and services worldwide.

Conductive Composites develops and delivers conductivity-based polymer and composite solutions that answer the combined demands of conductivity and shielding performance in a lightweight materials system. (GK)
