Most consumers (75%) believe smartphone manufacturers should make all their smartphones water resistant (strongly agree 38%, somewhat agree 37%)  The survey also found an emotional connection between the phone brand and water protection.

We are committed to doing what is right for our Associates and the customers and communities who rely on our products. Read a message from Gore’s Enterprise Leadership Team to learn more about our efforts.

Gore research shows that water incidents with smartphones is common (42% in the last year) and when incidents occur most consumers (81%) have a bad outcome (35% malfunction, 46% inoperable). This translates to 34% of households having a negative experience with their smartphones in the last year and 19% having to replace their smartphone. 

Gore announced plans to accelerate the application of its deep scientific knowledge and passion for innovation to address sustainability challenges.

W. L. Gore & Associates has launched its updated GORE® Microwave/RF Assembly Builder, a step-by-step tool that allows the user to configure and request a quote for an assembly with a variety of connector & cable options, assembly lengths, and frequencies.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact communities around the world, Gore is working hard to identify ways in which we can apply our materials science expertise and production capabilities to help during this time of need.

GORE® STA-PURE Flexible Freeze Containers' patented design was engineered to maximize container strength while the high-purity, biocompatible fluoropolymer composite film was selected for its durability and low extractables profile. The choice of Gore as one of the winners was based on it's potential impact on the industry. Drug manufacturers now have a high purity option for bulk drug storage that won't become brittle and potentially break or leak in use.

Gore is adding to it's range of affinity chromatography devices with the larger 9.0 mL size device for applications in process development, pre-clinical and early clinical drug development. This launch is significant because it demonstrates that this innovative membrane technology can be scaled to larger sizes without losing performance benefits.
