In volatile aerospace conditions, aircraft faying surfaces on leading edges and fairings are subjected to mechanical forces that may lead to abrasion and corrosion. Further, if fuel and access panels aren’t sealed and don’t have proper surface protection, they can be exposed to harsh contaminants like UV radiation or liquids like petroleum, engine oils and de-icing fluids. That’s why choosing the best interfay material is crucial to the aircraft’s successful production and operation.

GORE® Fibers are engineered to offer exceptional performance in a range of challenging environments. With a thorough scientific understanding of fluoropolymers, Gore has developed the unique capability to modify the characteristics of a fiber to meet the specific demands of varied applications.

Gore fiber is composed of proprietary ePTFE – a uniquely designed fluoropolymer fiber – with a microporous structure and specific engineered physical qualities that transform products from the ordinary to the extraordinary.
