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.

To ensure that our products deliver the performance and reliability that you expect, we conduct various tests and use key performance indicators during vent production.

This application note provides data demonstrating high productivity, extended cycling durability performance of membrane-based GORE Protein Capture Devices with Protein A across two rapid Clean-in-Place methods bracketing caustic contact time and concentration. These data were then combined with results from a manufacturing-scale demonstration to extrapolate protein capture capabilities at a 2000 L batch bioreactor size across CIP methods.

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.

GORE® Protective Vents vs. Common Venting Solutions

As the name says, Gore Protective Vents enable pressure equalization through venting with the key feature of ingress protection. Other venting technologies have limits to protecting against the ingress of dust and moisture.

GORE LOW DRAG Filter Bags incorporate an entirely new class of membranes that acts as a true surface filter in fume and fine powder applications. The membrane provides excellent particulate capture efficiency, dust cake release and filtration performance. It can be operated at a lower differential pressure (dP), resulting in fan energy savings, longer bag life and improved process control.

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.
