With decades of unique materials science technology and in-depth application knowledge, W. L. Gore & Associates offers proven solutions that ensure cleanliness, durability and reliability. Find out where our technologies are used throughout semiconductor manufacturing processes.

Our cables and materials have participated in decades worth of civil and defense aircraft programs. We offer a wide selection of high-speed data cables, microwave/RF assemblies, airframe sealants, and more. 

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. 

From the first moon landing to today’s aircraft and land defense, W. L. Gore & Associates continues to develop technology innovation and deliver time-tested, reliable components and materials to the aerospace and defense industry.

From the outset, W. L. Gore & Associates engineers products right to perform reliably in the most demanding air and land conditions. Our storied legacy is why defense companies and suppliers trust our cables and materials.

W. L. Gore & Associates supports the emerging aviation ecosystem by offering innovative and proven solutions to help ensure safe passenger air taxi service, cargo drone delivery and future combat air systems.

Supporting enduring and future fleets, W. L. Gore & Associates delivers advanced cables and materials that have been proven over time to ensure mission-critical success, rotary-wing survivability and personnel safety.

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.

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.
