Automotive Electronics GORE® Automotive Vents help electronic control units, sensors and motors perform more reliably in the harshest environments. They protect electronics from damaging dirt, water, automotive fluids and condensation, while the breathable GORE™ Membrane reliably equalizes pressures to prevent seal stress. |
|
Automotive Lighting GORE® Automotive Vents reliably guard headlights, fog lamps, rear and specialty (CHMSL) lamps from the conditions that can cause premature failure. In halogen, Xenon or LED systems, GORE® Vents block ingress of light-dimming contaminants, reduce condensation, and equalize pressures to protect housing seals. |
|
Automotive Powertrain Components GORE® Automotive Vents optimize airflow, equalizing pressure differentials that can stress seals of axles, limited-slip couplings, transfer cases and fluid reservoirs. At the same time, GORE® Vents protect these powertrain components from contaminants like dust, dirt, debris, water and common automotive fluids. |
|
e-Car Applications In large battery housings with huge volumes of free air, high-airflow GORE® Automotive Vents prevent buildup of heat and hazardous gases… and GORE® Vents can extend the reliability and service life of all types of automotive electronics, from the smallest under-hood ECU to the largest battery housing. |
