Media made from woven or nonwoven fabrics coated with a polymeric film, such as Primapor, made by SCAPA Filtration, and Gore-Tex, made by W. L. Gore and Associates, combine the high retentivity charac teristics of a membrane with the strength and durability of a thick filter cloth. These media are used on both continuous and batch filters where excellent filtrate clarity is required. [Pg.1707]

Gore-Tex is but one of a number of products produced by W. L Gore and Associates, Inc., a company founded in 1958 by Wilbert and Genevieve Gore to find uses for fiuorinated polymers. Gore-Tex was discovered by Wilbert s son, Robert in 1969. [Pg.167]

However, highly motivated individual engineers may have scope for creating enterprises that are both technically and ethically innovative, possibly even in the apparent absence of explicit participation in a base community. An example is W. L. Gore and Associates [26], a privately owned company with 10,000 employees in 30 countries and more than US 3 billion in annual sales. International surveys consistently rate the company as an excellent employer. The... [Pg.134]

So, there is a structure, but it is one that evolves naturally. Or that is the ideal, for W. L. Gore and Associates has a Chief Executive and other formal positions. [Pg.135]

It is interesting to compare the work practices at W. L. Gore and Associates to those of Benedictine business practice described in Chap. 6. The most noticeable difference is that the Gore practices do not explicitly arise from a base community that has values external to those of the business. Bill Gore s ideas seem to have originated from his reflection on his previous work experiences at a large chemical company. However, there are also a number of notable likenesses. First, both Gore... [Pg.135]

The engineering business practices of both W. L. Gore and Associates and Benedictine communities have so far been more studied than emulated. However, it is very encouraging that enterprises that are both ethically and technically very successful can arise on the basis of very different founding principles. They should be an inspiration to all seeking to promote the ethical practice of engineering. [Pg.136]

Various approaches to macrocomposite dimensionally stabilised PFSA membranes have been developed and integrated into benchmark MEAs. For example, Gore-Select membranes (W. L. Gore and Associates) comprise a Teflon-like component providing mechanical strength and dimensional... [Pg.566]
