Unlike competitors¡¯ membranes, Gore's membranes are designed specifically for packaging venting applications where uncompromising leak protection and pressure equalization are critical. The GORE¢â Membrane has excellent roll-off, so it easily ¡°sheds¡± liquid and allows continuous airflow. Other membranes, while offering adequate initial airflow, experience poor roll-off when exposed to low surface tension liquids. Such liquids clings to and clog those membranes, reducing airflow and potentially causing serious damage.
During distribution and storage, improperly vented agricultural products like fertilizers and pesticides can bloat, collapse or leak - putting customers at risk and resulting in unplanned costs. Gore packaging vents use superior ePTFE membrane structures to enable airflow and prevent leaks for even the most highly concentrated liquids.
