A versatile solution for your "everyday" challenges.
GORE® Packaging Vents’ new Standard Series puts improved GORE™ Membrane technology in a full-surface foam liner construction. The Standard Series brings added versatility, economy and safety to a wide range of typical packaging applications, from household chemicals to fertilizers and pesticides.
GORE Foam Liners Standard Series (3FL-323G) is a versatile, economical solution for your typical or "everyday" applications … and a drop-in replacement that outperforms single-point and other liners.
Outperforms single-point liners
- Full-surface construction means the whole diameter of the liner breathes, for much higher initial airflow and more responsive pressure equalization.
- Also, unlike single-point vents, this large breathable area is not easily blocked by drops of liquid.
- More reliable leak-resistance during transport and handling, due to improved Water Entry Pressure (WEP) resistance and competitive levels of Liquid Entry Pressure (LEP) resistance in most standard applications.
Easy and economical to integrate
- Designed as drop-in replacements for single-point or unvented liners, without requiring cap modification.
- Compatible with all flat-cap designs, the Standard Series effectively vents through the cap’s thread. Venting through an additional hole in the cap is no longer required (though it remains an option).
- Versatile enough for a wide range of typical applications, to help streamline logistics and reduce inventory costs.
WEP measures a vent’s leak-resistance to water. LEP measures a vent’s leak resistance to other liquids – which typically have surface tension much lower than water, so they may more easily penetrate the vent, even though water would not. LEP resistance to a given fluid is critical to preventing leaks in real-world conditions – as when a container falls over in transport or handling. Gore‘s High Roll-Off Series has been tested for both extremely high WEP resistance, and unprecedented LEP resistance to a wide variety of formulations with varied surface tensions and viscosities.
Enhance protection, productivity and savings
GORE Foam Liners’ new Standard Series has the reliable performance that translates to package integrity and safety all along the supply chain. As it can both outperform and replace single-point and unvented liners in all flat-cap designs, it can streamline your operations and costs. It’s a versatile solution for virtually all of your "everyday" packaging challenges.
The new GORE Foam Liner Standard Series (3FL-323G) is available as single-and multi-up roll goods, in various widths. Cut parts can also be offered.
