Venting

Market Segments



Lighting Applications
Lighting Enclosures
Lighting enclosures are exposed to temperature and pressure changes. GORE® Protective Vents protect against the negative effects of pressure differentials. They provide an effective barrier against harsh weather conditions (rain, snow, high winds). The vents allow water vapor to exit quickly and reduce the likelihood of condensation on the lens.

Cell Phone Applications
Solar Equipment
Pressure within solar equipment enclosures can drop dramatically as a result of rapid temperature changes, causing deflection of CPV panel lenses and stressing enclosure seals. GORE® Protective Vents equalize internal pressure while they also prevent dirt, salt, water and other corrosive liquids from entering the enclosures.

Portable Applications
Portable Electronic Devices
Active consumers expect laptop computers, PDAs, two-way radios and other devices to function in any environment. They must withstand water, dust, liquids and harsh weather without compromising their performance and reliability. GORE® Portable Electronics Vents equalize internal pressure and prevent contaminants form entering, while preserving sound transmission quality.

Telecome Applications
Telecommunications Infrastructure
Equipment used in the telecommunications industry is subjected to rapid temperature fluctuations, a variety of particulates, and exposure to wind, precipitation and solar radiation. GORE® Protective Vents effectively protect against the negative effects of pressure differentials caused by temperature changes and provide an effective barrier against dust, water, salts and other corrosive liquids.
