Was a outside contractor that worked at numerous W L Gore Plants since 1990 and it was a highlight of my career servicing such a amazing company and its employees.
Passion, Brilliance and even 'temporary setbacks' to Eventual Progression, beget Furthering a More Advanced Society, Because We Never Step Back!🇺🇸 Thank You, Mr Gore and Family!
Great full to you W.L Gore & Associates your work histories imagine to delivery most extremely products to save life people Thank you DAD Robert Gore you are pioneer for Gore Text
What a great story. Robert and Bill Gore join my list of most admired people along the likes of Bill Lear, Dean Kamen, Buckminster Fuller just to name a few. Ive sworn by GoreTex clothing for years and never knew. Thank you very much for your innovation.
Never thought that Gore Tex logo on my jacket would have this much history behind it. Good to see a family owned company compete with the multinationals, although from what I saw on their Wikipedia article they're not afraid of patent trolling or lawfare to increase their revenue.
My student's English language textbook led me here... Funnily enough, where we live, the ground water is poisoned by these exact industrial processes. Mortality rates are measurably higher in the affected area. The Gore-tex story is one of "freedom", you say, but such entrepreneurs rob their communities of the freedom to grow and live in a clean environment. Bob Gore "breathed science and invention", and we get to drink it!! We allow businessmen to commercialise new materials before we have even an inkling of the full extent of the harm they might do. The billions of dollars and centuries of labour required to clean up their effects and care for the ill never seem to get billed to companies... I see that Robert Gore invested in -- sorry, donated to --- chemical engineering research, but not to medical research on the effects of his products. What would be the effect of costing resulting deaths into the development of a product? Could we say, "you really should have done more to establish the potential harm?" We should stop revering these reckless men My student's textbook mentions these chemicals are long-lived but leaves it at that.
I still don't understand what the hell is going on here, lol. He pulls the hot teflon rod rapidly to dramatically extend it, but the diameter doesn't change at all!! Where is the extra volume of the material coming from? Every other substance I've ever stretched gets thinner, but this doesn't change its thickness? Is it incorporating air into itself making a foam instantly somehow? That doesn't make sense! How could air diffuse so rapidly into it while it's effectively being compressed radially during the axial stretching?
ePTFE is also part of the problem with the massive waste produced in the world. Now it's time to develop a process to recycle ePTFE in a more efficient manner. I'm no green looney, but I also know that we have to be responsible with what we produce in the world. Gore started the technology. And now we need the next-generation to continue to innovate into the 22nd century.

RIP Bob Gore.His innovations made a huge difference in progress of technology and the way we live.
He stole Gore-tex. He's was a fraud. Now he's dead.
As well as the way we die. By cancer.
