Gore expands warranty program for moisture barriers
January 12, 2016 - United States Of America
W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) has announced an enhancement of the warranty program for its line of moisture barriers and liner systems.
The comprehensive program is aligned with the needs of fire departments as they continue to adopt the requirements of NFPA 1851: Standard on selection, care, and maintenance of protective ensembles for structural fire fighting and proximity fire fighting, 2014 edition.
Gore’s new warranty program covers materials and labour performed by participating verified Independent Service Providers (ISPs) and garment manufacturers. The warranty time and specific materials vary depending on the product, according to a press release.
In addition to lengthening the warranty on these products, Gore is also extending the warranties for all of its moisture barriers currently in the market.
Holly Blake, product manager in Gore’s North American fire and public safety business said, “Over the many years of our involvement with the fire industry, we have been collecting data about the maintenance and repair issues involved with turnout gear. We have used this data to develop durable, reliable products that meet the fire-fighter’s needs. We are confident that our moisture barriers and our new liner system withstand the wear-and-tear of the rugged environments firefighters encounter when responding to emergencies. Offering these new warranties with our products allows us to pass along additional value to departments, and helps them comply with the NFPA 1851 standard more easily.”
Gore is a technology-driven company focused on discovery and product innovation. Well known for waterproof, breathable GORE-TEX fabric, the company’s portfolio includes everything from high-performance fabrics and implantable medical devices to industrial manufacturing components and aerospace electronics.
