Packaging Vents for Chemical, Agrochemical & Consumer Products
GORE® Packaging Vents equalize pressure, prevent leaks, and ensure container integrity, even with hazardous liquids or high-viscosity substances.
Reliable Protection for Extreme Challenges and Everyday Applications
GORE Packaging Vents prevent containers from bulging, collapsing, or leaking by allowing air and gases to pass through while blocking liquids. Even after contact with high-viscosity or low surface-tension fluids, they maintain consistent airflow for dependable performance. Engineered for hazardous and sensitive substances, these vents enhance safety, reduce waste, and preserve container integrity. With Gore’s advanced membrane technology, manufacturers can confidently transport and store liquids without the risk of leaks or pressure-related failures.

Markets & Applications
Institutional Chemicals/Cleaners
Because of potential decomposition, some chemicals need to breathe, especially the hazardous formulations — like hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid and sodium hypochlorite — found in industrial chemicals and cleaners. Without ventilation packaging, containers of reactive liquids will collapse or bulge — and changes in altitude or temperature will accelerate this deformation process. As a result, container can leak or even burst, creating great risks for end-users and the environment. Deformations, ruined labels and leaks are also costly to remediate, as they can negatively affect brand image, customer relationships, and profits. GORE Packaging Vents minimize these risks, reliably maintaining the integrity of drums and containers — and consistently passing the rigid testing requirements of the DOT and ADR.
Agrochemicals
It’s critical to use vented agricultural containers for high-offgassing products, and those whose natural variations provoke varying rates of fermentation and gas release:
- Agricultural liquid fertilizers
- Pesticides
- Biostimulant products
Without the appropriate vents, agricultural containers could collapse, bulge or leak when exposed to changes in altitude or temperature. Pallets could collapse. Labels could be ruined and as a result important safety information can be potentially illegible. GORE Packaging minimize these risks for even the most highly concentrated chemical formulations, and we provide vents that meet the stringent ADR and DOT standards.
Household Chemicals
For today’s more highly-concentrated household chemical formulations, venting is increasingly required. Without the appropriate vents, containers of chemicals and cleaners — like bleach, detergent and stain removers — could collapse, bulge or leak when exposed to changes in altitude or temperature. GORE Packaging Vents minimize these risks with superior airflow while preventing liquid from escaping containers.
Applications that typically vent for pressure equalization:
- Carpet cleaners
- Laundry stain removers
- Pipe clog removers
- Surface cleaners containing bleach and chlorine
- Anti-calc-cleaners
- Single-dose packaging for household cleaners
