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, including new PolyVent XS:  a compact, low-profile vent for today’s smaller, thinner-walled, lighter-weight enclosures.

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. Compare all the PolyVent options, including the enhanced GORE^® PolyVent Stainless Steel, now top-rated “IK10” for mechanical impact resistance. It provides exceptional protection that helps enclosures up to 20 liters withstand the toughest mechanical and environmental conditions.

Learn how Gore and key manufacturers of electrochemical (EC) sensors have cultivated flourishing relationships for over 30 years to continuously improve Gas Sensor Technology.

Pelican engineers knew that they needed to account for pressure differentials. The 0450 Mobile Tool Chest would be transported around the world and often dropped from an airplane. Rapid altitude changes can cause pressure on the seals to increase from about 2 psi (140 mbar) to almost 16 psi (1,105 mbar) in the short period it takes to reach the ground.

Speakers and receivers have larger apertures, so water, fluids and particles can enter more easily. Additionally, their permanent magnets attract metal particles that can accumulate on top of the speaker. The increasing mass and weight of these particles limits the sound pressure the diaphragm can produce, significantly degrading sound quality. GORE^® Acoustic Vents for Industrial Applications protect against this type of acoustic deterioration.

GORE® Acoustic Vents for Industrial Applications combine the latest technological advancements with more than 30 years of acoustic science expertise to provide venting solutions for varied industrial applications with sound monitoring or voice-control features. Our newest vents, Series 400 for Superior Fluids & Dust Protection, reduce insertion loss to provide enhanced acoustic quality. At the same time, they deliver Gore’s highest level of protection against water, other fluids and particles that could degrade device reliability and longevity.

Infinity Surfboards Company, located in Dana Point, California, designs a wide range of surfboards for a variety of surfer interests. The heat from the sun caused the air inside their surfboards to expand and the resulting pressure build-up caused delamination of the epoxy skin to occur.

Gore’s application engineers collaborated with the Dunkermotoren engineers to evaluate several GORE® Protective Vents in both environmental chamber tests and field tests.

Fingu, a well-respected manufacturer known for its radio frequency (RF) systems, needed quickly to identify the cause of water ingress in their RF subsystems. Their subsystems were mounted on top of telecom towers in a location subject to fierce typhoons. These heavy rains and high-force winds caused water to enter the housing and compromise the subsystem’s integrity and performance.
