W-LAN Boxes
Outdoor environments create pressure differentials that can cause premature seal failure in W-LAN boxes. GORE® Protective Vents rapidly equalize pressure differentials, protecting seal integrity and preventing the ingress of water or contaminants that would cause the electronics to corrode and fail.
Liquid Level Sensors
Sensors must consistently capture data accurately, and deliver a clear, precise readout. Breathable GORE® Protective Vents guard against condensation-related problems, and effectively protect sensors from environmental challenges like industrial steam-jet cleanings.
Flashlights
Police, firefighters, military and security personnel know that GORE® Protective Vents help their high-quality flashlights to withstand the most extreme environmental conditions and contaminants, for longer, more reliable performance.
Steam Cleaners
The electronics that transform cold water to hot steam are vulnerable to the wet environment, and to the resulting pressure differentials that can stress seals, or draw in contaminants. GORE® Protective Vents combine breathability with effective barrier protection, to keep these units operating at peak efficiency.
Lighted Emergency Signs / Alarm Systems
When human safety is at stake, there is no time when emergency signs or alarm systems can fail. For superior reliability in challenging conditions – from high-humidity steam rooms or saunas, to cold rooms – manufacturers trust GORE® Protective Vents.

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.
Photovoltaic (PV) Components
As the technology integrated in PV systems become more sophisticated, the electronics get more complex. GORE® Protective Vents reduce strain on seals by equalizing pressure effectively in junction/combiner boxes, micro/string inverters and monitoring and tracking equipment.
Waterproof Equipment Cases
Whatever the challenge – from military air-drops to rugged industrial or construction use – equipment cases must provide the ultimate protection for the high-value, sophisticated devices they contain. GORE® Protective Vents deliver unsurpassed performance in the most rugged deployments imaginable.
Construction, Earth Moving and Mining Equipment
Customers expect long, reliable service from this high-value equipment and its electronics. Durable GORE® Protective Vents reliably protect electronics from dirt, mud, dust and the harshest weather, as well as high-pressure power washing.
Wind Turbines
Electronic components of wind turbines must be protected from harsh environmental conditions. GORE® Protective Vents reliably protect these components from water and salt ingress, the primary causes of corrosion-related failure. This leads to reduced frequency of costly maintenance operations.
Marine Technical Systems
Navigation and other marine systems can fail prematurely when exposed to corrosive salt fog, or the pressure differentials caused, for example, by cold water hitting electronics on a hot sunny day. GORE® Protective Vents rapidly equalize pressures and prevent salt intrusion, to extend system reliability and service life.
Surfboards
Temperature changes – while being shipped in freight containers, or going from hot beaches to cold waves and back again – create extreme pressure differentials inside surfboards. GORE® Protective Vents rapidly equalize these pressure differentials that can cause the boards to split, deform or delaminate.
CPV (Concentrated Photovoltaic) Panels
The large internal volume of the CPV modules make them susceptible to pressure differentials caused by temperature changes. GORE® Protective Vents can equalize pressure, reduce condensation and prevent contaminants that can cause internal soiling. These benefits ultimately lead to increased power output.
Agricultural Equipment
GORE® Protective Vents protect control units, electric motors, actuators, sensors, telematics, lights and other sensitive electronics from all sorts of weather, and from dust, dirt and other “in the field” hazards.

GORE® Protective Vents rapidly equalize pressures and prevent salt intrusion, to extend system reliability and service life.
e-bikes
GORE® Protective Vents keep e-bike motors, battery systems, control units and displays free from contamination. They block water, dust and dirt, so that electronics won’t fail when the bikes are pressure-washed, or transported on a vehicle in the rain, at highway speeds.
Action Cameras
Active consumers want to capture action videos on-the-go. GORE® Portable Electronic Vents keep the camera’s electronics safe from all sorts of environmental hazards: dirt, dust, splashes, rain and even the dramatic temperature and pressure changes that occur when a camera-wearer goes snorkeling or skydiving!
Waterproof Cases
In the most rugged environments, waterproof cases give smartphones added protection. GORE® Portable Electronic Vents ensure that waterproof cases reliably repel environmental contaminants like water sprays and mud splatters, while protecting against internal pressure imbalances and condensation build-ups.
Electric Shavers
Breathable GORE® Protective Vents keep shavers operating longer and more safely. They effectively block water ingress, while preventing harmful build-up of hydrogen gas emitted by rechargeable batteries. And they equalize pressure differentials caused by cold water on hot electronics, which can shorten shaver life.
Telecom Small Cells
As consumer demand for smart phone LTE bandwidth escalates, Gore helps manufacturers improve small-cell reliability with venting solutions that better protect against failure-inducing hazards.
Electric Transit Signs
To ensure their transit signs function reliably, major manufacturers rely on GORE® Protective Vents to prevent damage from water ingress and condensation. And condensation-free signs remain clearly readable, with no interior fogging or reflections to distort the visual display.
Surfboards
Temperature changes – while being shipped in freight containers, or going from hot beaches to cold waves and back again – create extreme pressure differentials inside surfboards. GORE® Protective Vents rapidly equalize these pressure differentials that can cause the boards to split, deform or delaminate.
Sensors for Parking Guidance
High-performance GORE® Protective Vents prevent water from penetrating and degrading sensor performance and lifespan – even after hours of street flooding or immersion in puddles.
e-car / e-mobility Charging & Billing Systems

Telecom Tower Base Station Cabinets
High-airflow GORE® Protective Vents equalize pressure differentials within even the largest-volume cabinets, and reliably prevent pressure build-ups. Since moisture can also escape through the vent, condensation is minimized. Yet, contaminants like water, dirt and dust are blocked from entering.
Headlamps for Snowmobiles
Repeated exposure to snow, ice, slush and wind can create condensation in snowmobile lamps, reducing lumen output and damaging electronics. GORE® Protective Vents let condensation exit the housings, and continuously balance housing pressures during rapid changes in elevation, to avert seal stresses.
Packaging of Industrial Chemicals and Cleaners
Many industrial chemicals and cleaners with aggressive, high-offgassing ingredients are classified as “dangerous goods” and their transport is subject to strict regulatory guidelines. GORE® Packaging Vents reliably manage offgassing to maintain container integrity and avoid dangerous, costly leaks.
Packaging of Household Chemicals and Cleaners
GORE® Packaging Vents protect household chemicals and cleaners from bloating, collapse, or leakage. They breathe to equalize pressures, to maintain package integrity and a quality brand image from the factory line to store shelves. And fewer deformed packages can mean fewer costly returns.
Parking Meters
When parking meters malfunction, revenues are lost and repairs are costly. GORE® Protective Vents keep out liquids and particles that could damage the meter’s electronics, yet they breathe − allowing condensation to exit before it causes corrosion, and equalizing pressures to protect housing seals.
LED Architectural Lighting
Outdoor LED lighting offers energy savings, but requires more robust protection to avoid premature failures. GORE® Protective Vents block ingress of light-dimming contaminants, diffuse vapor to reduce condensation, and equalize pressure differentials that can stress seals, for reliable LED performance over time.
