Our automotive adhesive vents can help OEMs and Tiers enhance component reliability and longevity by offering life-of-vehicle condensation reduction, pressure equalization and ingress protection for headlamp, rear lamp, fog lamp and accessory lamp assemblies. Advances in car lighting technology are enhancing the look and the functionality of automotive headlamps, rear lamps, fog lamps and accessory lamps. Today’s lighting designs focus on maintaining a distinctive brand image and reliable lamp performance while incorporating innovations — like LED matrix beam diodes — intended to improve road safety. These goals can be compromised by environmental challenges: Heating/cooling cycles or humidity — or even some plastic material used for car headlamps — can create condensation; pressure differentials can stress seals to failure; ingress of water, dust, debris, moisture or automotive fluids can degrade lens clarity or damage integrated electronics. Our vents effectively reduce condensation in headlamps through continuing moisture diffusion, both when the vehicle is moving and when it’s parked. They reliably keep out rain, sleet, snow, dust, dirt and debris, and withstand automotive fluids, detergents and washing products. These breather patches continuously equalize pressure imbalances, to protect housing integrity in automotive exterior lighting. Gore’s automotive adhesive vents for lighting are known for their reliability and durability: many millions have been installed globally. And all our adhesive vents are backed by technical support and testing centers in the US, Germany, Japan and China.
