Microvent® Vent membrane for Vehicle Wiper System

• Front Wipers
• Rear Wipers

Whether you are designing or supplying a wiper motor, a starter motor or an electric pump motor, your components need protection from environmental challenges — dirt, dust, water and automotive fluids — that can create performance problems with the motors.

Microporous ePTFE vents from Microvent® are the ideal solution.

• block dirt and dust particulates from infiltrating housings and reducing efficiency
• effectively reduce condensation and prevent ingress of water, rain and harsh automotive fluids
• rapidly equalize pressure differentials, reducing stress and wear and extending service life

Our engineered venting solutions can be customized to your design. Tell our experts about the conditions that will challenge your motor, and we can collaborate on an optimal venting solution.

Wiper motors are critical to driver safety, yet their durability can be threatened by anything from extreme weather to owner-applied cleaning agents or high-pressure steam jets. In an increasingly cost-sensitive environment, OEMs require more effective venting to protect and extend the service life of wiper motors, reducing warranty claims. Microvent® has a portfolio of venting solutions engineered to preserve peak wiper motor performance, more cost-effectively

The solution: Equalize pressure by continuous venting.

Microvent® Protective Vents protect against the negative effects of pressure differentials caused by temperature changes. With their integrated Microvent™ Membrane, these vents allow an enclosure to equalize pressure quickly when subjected to changes in temperature and pressure. These vents also provide an effective barrier against harsh weather conditions (e.g., rain, snow, high winds), while allowing water vapor to exit quickly and reduce the likelihood of condensation on the lens.

Patented Microvent® Automotive Vents for Vehicle Wiper System are proven to reduce condensation and contaminants in headlamp assemblies by:

• allowing rapid exchange of air in response to pressure/temperature changes
• driving moisture out by diffusion through a microporous ePTFE membrane structure
• providing a reliable, long-lasting barrier to water and automotive fluids
• blocking entry of dust and other particulates to housing
