Ensure superior sound and durability for your earbuds with GORE® Acoustic Vents.

Describes the performance options (High Airflow and High Temperature) available in the Weldable Series for automotive electrical/electronic modules, (e.g. control units, sensors, actuators or motors). Includes performance characteristics as well as design and dimensions.

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 current methods used during circuit board assembly to protect MEMS microphones can cause performance degradation, significant yield losses and higher manufacturing costs. With GORE MEMS Protective Vent Style 100, industry-leading protection and acoustic performance can be seamlessly installed during circuit board assembly.

Describes the performance options (Standard, High Temperature, High Airflow, and Compact) available in the Snap-Fit Series for automotive electronic modules (control units, sensors, actuators and motors). Includes performance characteristics, installation recommendations, and testing methods/criteria.

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.

GORE® Vents provide life-of-vehicle protection to maintain the reliability of lighting systems that support vehicle differentiation and functionalities — for example, in EVs where thinner modular lamps can illuminate brand signatures and integrate new sensing/communication devices.

GORE® Catalytic Device is a development based on the world's most advanced ePTFE technology and catalyst sheet formation technology from Gore. This small catalytic device can be installed inside flooded lead acid batteries. For use in manifold type automotive flooded lead acid batteries.

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.
