Introducing a NEW Family of Gore ePTFE Fibers


This paper has described some of the exciting new developments with Gore ePTFE fiber from W. L. Gore & Associates — higher tensile performance at higher temperatures and the unique ability to manipulate density, texture, modulus, and size. In addition to the broad array of Gore ePTFE fiber capabilities, it should also be noted that these technologies are interchangeable. For example, Gore can deliver a low-density fiber with good high-temperature performance and a surface texture. This capability to tailor properties specifically to a customer’s needs ensures that new applications for Gore ePTFE fiber will continue to be identified and developed.

  • Higher tenacities at ambient and elevated temperatures
  • The ability to manipulate and vary properties such as density, texture, modulus and diameter.
  • Finer Deniers of ePTFE fiber
  • GORE® OMNIBEND® Fiber technology
