Learn how GORE® Thermal Insulation aids System-on-Chip (SoC) thermal management by reducing surface hot-spots, delaying throttle thresholds and enabling higher sustained performance in mobile devices.
 

Explore how GORE® Automotive Vents reduce condensation in exterior lighting assemblies by providing life-of-vehicle pressure equalization, moisture vapor diffusion and ingress protection for headlamps, rear lamps, fog and accessory lamps.
 

Understand how passive-intermodulation (PIM) occurs in coaxial cable assemblies, why metal contact resistance and oxide layers matter, and how proper materials and termination techniques can minimise PIM in high-power, multichannel RF systems.
 

GORE®’s ‘Packing for Industrial Applications: Engineering & Support’ outlines over 40 years of sealing expertise, detailing how our technical-services team partners with customers to select and optimise high-performance packings for pumps, valves and piping systems.
 

Use the GORE® Microwave/RF Cable Assembly Calculator to input market, category, frequency, length, temperature and altitude, and quickly compute insertion loss, VSWR and other parameters to select the right cable assembly for your application.
 

Learn about the quality assurance processes for GORE® Microwave/RF assemblies — including 100% inspection, ISO 9001 and MIL-I-45208 compliance, and testing of loss, VSWR, dielectric strength, radiographic and visual checks to ensure defect-free delivery.
 

Clarify the differences between IP and NEMA enclosure ratings—covering how IP codes (IEC-60529) address dust and water ingress and NEMA types (NEMA 250) add protection against corrosion, ice and mechanical impact to guide vent and enclosure design.
 

Explore the interactive car-configurator from W. L. Gore & Associates, offering an immersive view of how their automotive venting and materials technologies are applied throughout vehicle systems.
 

Upgrading an incineration plant’s emissions-control system with the GORE® Mercury Control System enabled full compliance with EPA regulations and delivered savings of over US$5 million.
 

With the GORE® Acoustic Vent GAW333, waterproofing meets acoustic integrity — enabling IPX8-rated immersion protection while maintaining less than 1.3 dB sound insertion loss at 1 kHz for smartphones and wearable devices.

Modern exterior lighting requires brand-defining designs with advanced electronics in thinner, crowded spaces. GORE® Lighting Solutions help designers meet these challenges while supporting lightweight, cost-down trends and ensuring reliable performance in demanding environments.

A technical overview of IECEx and ATEX standards, explaining how equipment for explosive atmospheres is defined, tested and certified — including zone classifications, protection levels and global harmonization.
