GORE® Vents
Equalize Enclosure Pressure With Gore Vents
Sealing Devices Inc. is the North American distributor for protective vents made by W.L. Gore & Associates, Inc. We’ve built a strong partnership with Gore to be able to offer GORE® Vents and complementary sealing solutions to customers.
GORE® Vents let sealed enclosures “breathe,” allowing airflow in and out. Membrane vents eliminate pressure differentials created when sealed enclosures are exposed to rapid, recurring changes in environmental conditions. They manage the internal pressure in mobile and outdoor electronics enclosures, packaging and other components, to increase reliability and prevent deformations that could cause component failure.

Benefits of GORE® Vents
- Virtually eliminate condensation
- Rapid pressure equalization
- Block contaminants: water, dust, dirt, liquids
- Protect against ‘board level’ electronics failures
- Install easily into existing housing designs
- Eliminate hazardous gas build up
- Improve seal performance to eliminate seal failure
- Good for altitude change pressure elimination
- Eliminate vacuum in enclosures
Adhesive Series
Low-profile Adhesive vents are available in standard sizes. There are options for high levels of environmental protection and others with high airflow capability. These ventilation products are generally intended for enclosure ventilation, pressure equalization, condensation reduction, battery and hydrogen out-gassing, as well as sensor applications.
Snap-in Series
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 the new PolyVent XS: a compact, low-profile vent size for today’s smaller, thinner-walled, lighter-weight enclosure ventilation needs.
Screw-in Series
The Screw-In Series of Gore venting offers a variety of performance options that durably withstand mechanical stresses and rugged environments. They all provide oleophobic vent membranes and are hydrolytically stable, UV- and temperature-resistant. Compare all the PolyVent options, including the enhanced GORE® PolyVent Stainless Steel ventilation products, now top-rated “IK10” for mechanical impact resistance. It provides exceptional enclosure ventilation protection that helps enclosures up to 20 liters withstand the toughest mechanical and environmental conditions.
Acoustic Series
Acoustic vent technology enhances sound transmittance compared with standard protective vents while continuing to provide advanced ingress protection. Options are available for both microphone and speaker solutions. All acoustic vent options leverage vent membranes that further increase vent performance, providing top-line sound transmittance that is expected from Gore venting products. Acoustic vents are available in high acoustic performance and high ingress protection options.
