Oleophobic Membranes

Unmatched Performance Against Both High and Low Surface Tension Fluids Like Oil

Gore oleophobic technology has been successfully proven in a wide range of venting applications through years of commercial field experience. These “oil-fearing” materials resist wet-out from low surface tension fluids. It is more difficult for the fluids to penetrate oleophobic membranes from Gore, leading to high performance in a number of demanding applications.
