Gore’s acoustic membrane vents provide consistent high-quality sound, in styles and configurations designed to meet the full range of ingress protection standards, from dust applications to deep immersion applications.

Preventing pressure buildups within Li-Ion packs is essential to enhance battery system safety, reliability and longevity. GORE® Automotive Vents’ continuous bidirectional airflow effectively equalizes pressures while protecting battery packs against contaminant ingress.

Designed for high performance in electrified and traditional powertrain components. These durable, waterproof direct-fit and tube-mount vents provide responsive pressure equalization and reliable ingress protection that meets global OEM standards for water wading and fluid containment.

Rapid environmental changes can lead to pressure differentials between inside and outside of an electronic device. GORE^® Pressure Vents provide superb reliability through exceptional balance of airflow and water protection.

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.

Low-profile Adhesive Vents are available in both standard and custom designs, offering the most flexible options: for manual or automated installation, for interior or exterior mounting on enclosures, and for adhesion to rough or smooth substrates. 

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.

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® 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.

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.
