GORE™ Packaging Vents: Molded Components

Container vents that meet the demands of a wide array of applications

Molded components from Gore are constructed for rugged use. Each part is quality tested after the GORE™ Membrane is sealed into the plastic component. They are available in various sizes fitting a volume range from 0.02–1500 liters, and simply snap or press-fit into place. Vented containers using GORE™ Packaging Vents have consistently demonstrated compliance with UN and DOT test standards.

Realize the benefits of molded components from Gore for container venting:

  • Air permeable membrane that equalizes pressure and prevents containers from bursting, collapsing or leaking
  • Unique press-fit design integrates easily through manual or automated installation
  • Wide array of vent sizes and ready-to-use components which improves package without redesign
  • Consistent compliance with UN and DOT test standards

The science behind the solution
Molded components from Gore offer the best combination of liquid resistance and airflow through the use of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). The chemically inert GORE™ Membrane is designed to:

  • Prevent liquid penetration
  • Offer the best combination of liquid resistance and airflow, even after exposure to liquids containing organics, surfactants, oils and solvent based liquids
  • Manage differential pressure within a container
