W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. is a privately owned enterprise with over 8,500 associates in 16 countries and 45 plants worldwide. Established in 1958 the company has since accumulated a wealth of skills and experience in manipulating polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) to provide innovative solutions for difficult sealing applications. Today Gore is the world's leading supplier of expanded PTFE components used in the transport and sealing of industrial fluids. A range of fully chemically-resistant products includes high performance gaskets, sheets, tapes and cords for flanges; packing fibres as well as packings for valves and pumps; diaphragms for air operated pumps that demonstrate value in the most severe conditions, and peristaltic pump tubes.
While teams of associates operate businesses in the industrial, electronics, medical and apparel fields, the Sealant Technologies Group focuses its attention on the fluid sealing industry. GORE™ Joint Sealant DF for large diameter flanges , dimensionally stable GORE™ Series 300 Gasket Tape for large steel equipment, GORE™ Series 600 Gasket Tape for large glass-lined equipment, GORE™ GR Sheet Gasketing for steel pipes and equipment and GORE™ Universal Pipe Gasket Style 800 for all standard pipe flanges are among the world's tightest, chemically-resistant gasketing products. They have proven value to companies handling aggressive or toxic materials that must be kept in compliance with environmental and safety regulations. For pumps and valves in the process industries Gore offers high performance GORE™ GFO® Packing, GORE™ Valve Stem Packing and GORE™ SEQUEL® Packing. In addition, the GORE™ ONE-UP® Pump Diaphragm for air-operated diaphragm pumps is setting the standard for longevity in demanding chemical applications. W.L. Gore & Associates further makes high performance tubes, GORE™ High-Resilience Tubing for use with peristaltic pumps and pinch valves.
