Gore waterproof breathable membrane energy storage

Are Gore Tex membranes waterproof?

Each square inch of the GORE‑TEX membrane has nine billion pores. Each of these tiny holes is 20,000 times smaller than a water droplet. This is what makes the membrane in everything in the original GORE‑TEX products range waterproof: rain and snow simply cannot get in—and it’s why all these products are GUARANTEED TO KEEP YOU DRY™.

Why is GORE Membrane ideal for waterproof enclosures?

The GORE Membrane is ideal for designers of waterproof enclosures who want hydrophobic protection that is “engineered in” to the membrane material itself, not an added-on coating. Additionally, GORE Membranes have high roll-off: they easily “shed” standing water drops to maintain their breathability, even after immersion.

What is a Gore-Tex membrane?

The GORE-TEX membrane: you know it’s got something to do with why everything in the original GORE-TEX products range is waterproof, windproof, and breathable. But do you know what it is, exactly?

What is a Gore membrane & how does it work?

The integrated GORE Membrane has pores large enough to let air and gas molecules pass freely but small enough to block entry of water drops, fluids or corrosive liquids, dust, dirt, salts, sand and other damaging contaminants.

What is a waterproof/breathable membrane?

So what is this mystical breathability and from whence does it come? Simply put, a waterproof/breathable membrane is a very thin layer of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), a synthetic polymer (i.e. a plastic sheet) containing holes that are too small for water molecules to pass through yet large enough to allow water vapour to pass through.

What does Gore's vent membrane protect against?

Gore’s oleophobic and waterproof vent membrane blocks entry of liquids and also equalizes pressure imbalances that could damage seals and create new leak paths. It’s crucial for venting membranes to offer more than one kind of liquid-proof protection:
