Gore’s reputation for producing reliable and ingenious products is based in part on the company’s serious and successful participation in aerospace. Gore’s technically advanced products are found in commercial, military and business aircraft, missiles and spacecraft. They have been vital and trusted components of space programs dating from the Apollo moon landings to the exploration of Mars.
In this industry where complexity is normal, high performance is essential, and a single error can mean disaster, customers know they can rely on Gore products which have been proven over four decades of service in some of the most demanding environments known.
Gore's electronic products, created for a broad range of applications, have an unmatched history of success. Gore's cables and cable assemblies have been used successfully in more than 70 satellite programs. Gore cables have gone to Mars in NASA rovers and to the moon in seismographic equipment.
Gore's aerospace products reach beyond electronics, however. GORE™ SKYFLEX® Aircraft Sealant protects aircraft panels, fuel tanks, floorboards, and windshields from moisture and corrosion. When woven into the outer layer of astronauts' space suits, Gore fibers resist degradation from ultraviolet rays and reliably withstand temperature extremes. And to help sensitive equipment withstand rapid changes in altitude and temperature, GORE™ Membrane Vents enable pressure equalization and protection from contaminants.
Wherever there fluorocarbons are used, there is a use for GORE® TETRA-ETCH® Fluorocarbon Etchant; from wire and cables products to fluorocarbon sheet and tape, from chemical tank liners to printed circuit boards, from engineering components to electronic potting.
