The guidelines are based on Gore’s best practices in eWEP (extended Water Entry Pressure) testing for GORE® Portable Electronic Vents. Please follow the guidelines to conduct the eWEP testing to minimize water leakage failures caused by test issues.

Also known as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), drones have become commonplace in commercial and defense applications, but as the technology continues to evolve, so does a shift in power management systems. Drones that once ran on high energy density batteries with limited flight time are now being redesigned to rely on high-performing cables, which use a battery backup and offer unlimited flight time. 

Learn how Gore venting technology empowered the ODM of a well-known Chinese technology manufacturer to secure their role in a growing market. Discover how our in-depth knowledge helped to successfully develop their first waterproof smartwatch, all without compromising acoustic quality.

W. L. Gore & Associates examines constraints that may have an impact on cable performance. Also examined is the process involved in selecting the right materials based on sufficient testing to verify cables will survive and perform reliably in the harshest environments.

Aircraft weight savings is an important design and modernization consideration to increase payload, fuel efficiency, range and time on station. W. L. Gore & Associates offers reliable solutions that reduce the size and weight of copper, fiber optic and coaxial cables.

GORE® Thermal Insulation has unique properties of low thickness (< 300 μm) with conductivity less than air (< 0.02 W/(m•K) ) and therefore presents challenges in characterization. A test methodology incorporating a modified heat flow method, ex-situ thickness method, and two thickness conductivity calculation is used to provide reliable and accurate thermal conductivity data. Conductivity results show the distribution of data falls below the conductivity specification of 0.02 W/(m•K).

As LED lighting proliferates in automotive applications, so does condensation. That’s because LED lamps’ heat source is at the rear of the assembly, making the lens area the cold spot where condensation forms most easily. Often with unpleasant results: foggy, cloudy or streaky lenses, and lamps that don’t shine as brightly as when they left the showroom. Condensation could also compromise integrated sensors or other electronic devices.

W. L. Gore & Associates’ aerospace sealants have successfully solved many surface protection and sealing challenges in defense and civil aircraft. When removing the Boeing 737 Next-Gen Heat Exchanger Inlet Duct for routine maintenance checks, GORE® SKYFLEX® Aerospace Tapes, 200 Series must be inspected for any damage or improper installation.

These Airbus service bulletins define where GORE® SKYFLEX® Aerospace Tapes can improve corrosion protection between floorboards and structures in cabin wet areas and cargo holds. The 100 Series from W. L. Gore & Associates operates like an umbrella, keeping water away from floorboards on A318, A319. A320 and A321 commercial aircraft.

When M-345 aircraft operators wanted a durable, lighter-weight sealant installed faster and could better protect structures from corrosion than form-in-place (FIP) wet seals, they called W. L. Gore & Associates. GORE® SKYFLEX® Aerospace Tapes installed on windshield and fuselage panels proved that operators could drastically reduce application steps and installation time.
