GORE® Protective Vents for Other Outdoor Applications
Surveillance and security systems, as well as other outdoor electronic equipment enclosures, depend on GORE Vents for superior environmental protection.
Extend Outdoor Product Reliability and Durability in Harsh Environments
GORE® Protective Vents balance airflow and environmental sealing to help electronics perform dependably in demanding conditions. Whether in smart sensors, e-bikes, or surfboards, they shield components from dust, debris, moisture, and humidity—helping extend product life and maintain consistent performance.
GORE Protective Vents provide the optimal combination of breathability and barrier protection to enhance the survival of electronic components. In sophisticated monitoring systems and in other rugged-use products from e-bikes to surfboards, GORE Vents reliably protect against dirt, dust, condensation, humidity and water.
Vents from Gore can extend the service life of outdoor equipment, reducing maintenance costs, warranty claims and customer frustrations, because they:
- rapidly equalize housing pressures, to avert premature seal failure
- prevent ingress of moisture, wind-driven rain and particulates and other contaminants
- reduce condensation that can corrode sensitive electronics
- eliminate the need for “ruggedized” housings, reducing costs and weight
- provide a compact, venting structure that is easily installed and integrated
GORE Protective Vents can help your outdoor electronic equipment enclosures meet IP enclosure and vented NEMA enclosure protection standards. Learn more
Venting Solutions for Outdoor Electronics in Diverse Applications
Surveillance and Security Cameras
Internal pressure differentials and condensation can cause lens deflection and image distortion. GORE Vents quickly equalize pressure and reduce condensation, so system images are captured with maximum clarity and reliability.
Tracking Equipment
Container tracking devices are vulnerable to contaminants during rail or sea transport. GORE Vents effectively protect against ingress from contaminants, including airborne particulates, drenching rains or ocean sprays.
Outdoor Access Control Systems
Fingerprint, biometric, or badge-reading systems must deliver a clear and precise image, time after time. GORE Vents block dust, dirt and contaminants that can prevent accurate data capture, so systems can operate at peak performance.
Traffic Control Systems
Delicate sensors and electronics must be protected against dust, dirt and other contaminants that could compromise system performance and safety. GORE Vents reliably block contaminants to preserve system reliability.
E-Bikes
E-bike electronics can fail if exposed to high-pressure washes, or to weather and dirt while the bike is transported on a vehicle at highway speeds. GORE Vents reliably protect e-bike displays, control units, motors and battery systems from contamination by water, dust or dirt.
Surfboards
Thermal extremes can create internal pressure differentials that can cause surfboards to split, deform or delaminate. GORE Vents rapidly equalize pressure to preserve the integrity and performance life of the board.
Adhesive Series
Low-profile Adhesive Vents are available in both standard and custom designs, offering the most flexible options: for manual or automated installation, for interior or exterior mounting on enclosures, and for adhesion to rough or smooth substrates.
Screw-In Series
The Screw-In Series offers a variety of performance options that durably withstand mechanical stresses and rugged environments. They all provide oleophobic membranes and are hydrolytically-stable, UV- and temperature-resistant.
Snap-In Series
The Snap-In Series delivers fast reliable installation and durable protection for enclosure volumes of all sizes, from less than 0.5 liters up to 30 liters. Ideal for high-throughput or manual production, the Snap-In Series offers multiple performance options.
