With the ability to rapidly equalize pressure while maintaining environmental protection, Gore™ Protective Vents can be found in electrical enclosures, cell phones, satellite base stations, depth finders and electronic toothbrushes. The vents allow enclosures to "breathe" with changing elevation and/or temperature, preventing pressure differentials from building up that can damage seals and gaskets which allow contamination to enter the enclosure.

Gore™ Protective Vents can help you create or improve portable devices that are waterproof yet still vent gases (i.e. hydrogen gas given off by rechargeable batteries) and can also protect your sensitive speakers and microphones.

Typical applications include:

Portable Electronic Devices	Marine Electronics Equipment	Liquid and Gas Sensors
Outdoor Lighting	Telecommunications Equipment	Acoustic Devices
