Gore Quality Certification: ISO 9001: 2015

This certification means that W. L. Gore & Associates GmbH maintains a Quality Management System that fully conforms to ISO 9001:2015, an internationally - recognized standard that was reviewed and reconfirmed in 2021. The ISO 9001:2015 principles of quality management — such as customer focus, process approach and continual improvement — are fully integrated in the design, manufacture and sales of Gore’s PTFE-based membranes and vents for automotive applications.

Find out how the “Cleanliness Protected” (CP) option can help satisfy OEM requirements for technical cleanliness, and minimize the risk of contaminants causing current leakage, short circuits, voltage flashovers or similar issues— especially in high-voltage electronics and high-value ADAS applications that can’t afford to fail in the field.

Reliably Protect Headlamps Against Condensation as well as Dirt and Water Ingress

Learn why BEV headlamps are more vulnerable to condensation than their warmer-running ICE counterparts, and why GORE® Automotive Vents are more effective than other venting methods at providing effective, life-of-vehicle condensation clearing and ingress protection so that BEV headlamps can continue to provide a clear view for drivers and any integrated sensors.

Find out why Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) headlamps are especially vulnerable to condensation…and the best way to remedy that. Our 9-minute presentation has the answers you need.

Does your Headlamp Design Delay Condensation Clearing?

Learn why Toyota Motor Corporation chose to partner with GORE® Automotive Vents when other venting solutions could not meet Toyota’s performance requirements for a new e-axle containing lubricated gears and a higher-voltage e-motor. This Case Study outlines the associated challenges, solution and results — including an on-time product launch for Toyota.

Preventing pressure buildups within Li-Ion packs is essential to enhance battery system safety, reliability and longevity. GORE® Automotive Vents’ continuous bidirectional airflow effectively equalizes pressures while protecting battery packs against contaminant ingress.
