About Shocking Technologies, Inc.

Shocking Technologies, Inc. is a privately held company developing Voltage Switchable Dielectric™ (VSD™) materials for electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection in consumer electronic devices. A VSD™ material is a polymer nano-composite that behaves as an insulator (dielectric) during normal operation, and becomes conductive in the presence of ESD events. This unique capability enables comprehensive ESD protection at a fraction of the cost of competing, less effective methods. The company is currently delivering embedded ESD protection within printed circuit boards (PCBs) and semiconductor packages. Subsequent applications will enable new manufacturing processes and novel product designs. More information is available at www.shockingtech.com.
