Clients worldwide turn to Microvent for advanced automotive venting solutions for gas-powered, hybrid and electric vehicles. Microvent® Automotive Vents can extend the reliability and service life of components and reduce design, manufacturing and warranty costs. In automotive lamps, sensors, electronic control units and powertrain components, Microvent® Automotive Vents rapidly equalize pressure variations caused by temperature changes while providing a reliable barrier to particulates, debris, water and automotive fluids. More reliable venting performance can reduce the need for heavier housings, seals and gaskets, so component design is less complex, manufacturing costs are reduced, and global cross-platform integration is simplified.

Automotive lighting vents from Microvent® block water, automotive fluids and contaminants while effectively reducing condensation and allowing lamps to vent during rapid temperature/pressure differentials. The end result of using Microvent^® Automotive Vents is to potentially extend the reliability and service life of automotive lamps.

Automotive lighting design requires distinctive styling, advanced lamp technologies and lasting durability to win consumer approval and sustain customer satisfaction, across global markets. Today’s high-performance headlamps, fog lamps, rear lamps or specialty (CHMSL) lamps use sophisticated technologies — from LED or Xenon, to dynamic bending lights and adaptive systems — that demand highly-engineered venting development to ensure lamp performance and lamp housing integrity.

Advanced automotive venting products from Microvent® improve the durability and warranty performance of automotive lighting, by:

• Keeping lenses clear / preventing dust, dirt and debris infiltration
• Reducing clear-lens condensation through effective diffusion/moisture transport out of the lamp
• Protecting lamp housings and lenses / blocking ingress of water, heavy rains, car wash solutions and other automotive fluids
