Gore, W.L. & Associates GmbH

Whether supplying power to space stations or transmitting critical data to aircraft and spacecraft, Gore's products are engineered to perform without failure despite the environment. By combining our innovative materials and dielectric expertise, we offer a wide variety of low-profile copper and fiber solutions that withstand a broad spectrum of challenges. Like the shock and vibration of flight, space temperatures from -200°C to +200°C, and tight bending during installation.

Our solutions ensure power and signal transmission are delivered fast and reliably with low loss for the duration of your system. Proven products like GORE® Aerospace Ethernet Cables and GORE-FLIGHT™ Microwave Assemblies continue to win awards for product and system-level innovations.

Unlike Elixir Strings, other guitar strings become sabotaged by dirt and debris, which builds up between the gaps in the windings, contaminating the string and killing tone. With Elixir Strings, we add an ultra-thin fluoropolymer coating that acts as a physical barrier between the strings and its damaging environment.

Elixir Strings is the only brand to coat the entire string -- protecting not only the outer string surface, but also the  gaps between the string windings. As a result, Elixir Strings retain their tone longer than any other string, uncoated or coated*.

No wonder musicians around the world make Elixir Strings their guitar string of choice.

Our products embody our commitment to innovation. Innovation born from understanding the specific needs of athletes and engineered to enhance your experiences. We create highly functional products from our world-leading fabrics technologies to deliver simplicity at the point of extreme need. The continuous cycle of research, design and development, testing and re-testing is fundamental to our core principle of form follows function. Working at the intersection of the human body and technology, our designers create products that master the elements by optimizing comfort, breathability, lightweight, weather protection, insulation and versatility.

We strive to deliver the best so you can be your best.

While plenty of products offer some level of wind protection, only GORE® WINDSTOPPER® products offer you the unique combination of total windproofness and optimized breathability. This combination yields an incredibly versatile product that gives you the freedom to enjoy being outside in a wide range of weather conditions, doing activities at various levels of intensity.

This performance is provided by the ultra light and thin GORE® WINDSTOPPER® membrane that adds total wind protection to any textile without perceivably changing its breathability. Windproofness stops your body from feeling the chilling effects of wind and weather, while protecting the warm yet highly sensitive micro-climate that surrounds your skin. High breathability prevents overheating and perspiration build-up by allowing moisture vapor to easily escape. Many GORE® WINDSTOPPER® products also offer high water resistance for protection in damp conditions.

Because this protection is inherent to the GORE® WINDSTOPPER® membrane and doesn’t wear out, garments or accessories made with GORE® WINDSTOPPER® fabric are easy to care for.

Gore fabric technologies have revolutionized the performance of fabrics by controlling porosity through unique microstructures. Membrane technologies and advanced polymers and materials have been developed to meet specific performance criteria for outdoor activities as well as occupational and industrial uses.

Gore complements its expertise in membrane technology with in-depth knowledge of fabric performance and polymer technology. Ongoing field and laboratory tests -- combined with the development of advanced adhesives, coatings, fabric finishes and seam-sealing materials -- ensure durable, high-performance garments and footwear.

In outerwear, unprecedented end-user warranty and manufacturers' licensing programs for products made with GORE-TEX Fabric have set the standard for durably liquidproof, breathable garments, footwear, and accessories available.

GORE-TEX Fabrics offer exceptional strength, abrasion resistance and toughness as compared to other synthetic fibers, including other PTFE fibers.

They are ideal for a wide variety of applications and industries, including the following:

• protective outerwear
• military, safety, and protective services gear
• aerospace
• electronic
• geotextiles
• marine
• transportation applications
• frictional bearing surfaces
• industrial equipment covers
• transition pieces for bulk powder handling
• wire harnesses
• electrical cable insulation and/or spacing
