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.

GORE® Protective Vents vs. Common Venting Solutions

As the name says, Gore Protective Vents enable pressure equalization through venting with the key feature of ingress protection. Other venting technologies have limits to protecting against the ingress of dust and moisture.

This document shows the Installation Instructions and Instructions for Use of GORE PolyVent Ex. In addition the relevant standards are listed and the attestation of conformity is described.

Learn why Toyota Motor Corporation chose to partner with GORE® Automotive Vents when other venting solutions could not meet Toyota’s performance requirements for a new e-axle containing lubricated gears and a higher-voltage e-motor. This Case Study outlines the associated challenges, solution and results — including an on-time product launch for Toyota.

GORE^® Belüftungselemente schützen sensible Elektronik vor Schmutz, Wasser, Hitze und Feuchtigkeit und sorgen so dafür, dass Bau-, Schwerlast- und Agrarmaschinen selbst unter den härtesten Umweltbedingungen zuverlässig funktionieren.

Erfahren Sie, wie Gore und führende Hersteller von elektrochemischen Sensoren (EC-Sensoren) in mehr als 30 Jahren der erfolgreichen Zusammenarbeit die Gassensortechnologie kontinuierlich verbessert haben.

GORE® Catalytic Device is a development based on the world's most advanced ePTFE technology and catalyst sheet formation technology from Gore. This small catalytic device can be installed inside flooded lead acid batteries. For use in manifold type automotive flooded lead acid batteries.

DECEMBER 2009 // Author Harry Hutchinson interviews engineer and lifelong surfer Peter Casica about his innovative use of GORE^® Protective Vents to prevent damage to surfboards. Casica knew temperature extremes created pressure differentials within the board, causing deformation, delaminations and leaks. See how a GORE^® PolyVent solved the problem.
