Portable Electronic Devices
 The problem: Electronic devices are often exposed to dust or splash water.
Mobile phones and other portable wireless devices are often used in severe environments, potentially exposing them to water and dust that can damage sensitive components.
The solution: Dust and splash protection with GORE™ Protective Vents.
GORE™ Protective Vents are placed over ports in these devices to protect them from dust, splashes, and temporary water immersion and to provide pressure venting and equalization.
GORE™ Protective Vents for acoustics provide a dust and splash barrier without significantly compromising sound transmission, integrity, or quality. In addition, the vents resist a variety of everyday liquids, such as carbonated beverages and coffee. GORE™ Vents preserve sound quality and provide an aesthetic cover, while creating a water-tight barrier from the elements.
