GORE™ Adsorbent Breather

The GORE™ Adsorbent Breather is a multi-function, peel-and-stick part designed to filter particles, acid gasses and vapor contaminants from an airstream. Optional diffusion tubes can be incorporated into the GORE™ Adsorbent Breather filter for additional functionality. The activated carbon is completely encapsulated by the ultraclean ePTFE membrane, which prevents particle migration. This product is ideal for controlling contamination in drives that are vented to the atmosphere.

Realize the Benefits of GORE™ Adsorbent Breathers:

• Provides maximum rates of adsorption and low pressure drop
• Offers the cleanest adsorbent part available for the hard disk drive
• Encapsulates adsorbents in clean, non-shedding ePTFE
• Offers the thinnest constructions available
• Can be manufactured with a variety of adsorbents; in rolls with a self-stick, low outgassing permanent pressure-sensitive adhesive
• Protects disk drive from exterior particles, organic and acid gas contamination
• Can incorporate diffusion tubes for additional protection against contaminants

The Science Behind the Solution

As a unique material that offers extremely clean, durable and inert packaging, highly porous expanded PTFE (ePTFE) provides an inert binder to hold the adsorbents in the GORE™ Adsorbent Breather construction. The scaffold allows airflow to equalize pressure while providing a rigid form to hold the adsorbent or desiccant. The GORE™ Adsorbent Breather also utilizes optimized activated carbon.
