Bourdon was a chemist for the West Virginia Pulp and Paper Company in Luke, Maryland, before taking a position with the U.S. Bureau of Standards in 1931. In that position, he was head of the Paper Section in the Division of Organic and Fibrous Materials, located in the small town of Westernport in Allegany County, in the panhandle of Maryland. He was responsible for making a change in the fiber content and manufacturing techniques in U.S. paper currency during the late 1920's, a change that was credited with saving millions of dollars. He also developed a paper made of glass fiber which could be used as an effective filter in gas masks and respirators. During World War II, he developed a paper for military maps, a paper that held up well under battlefield conditions.
He was a graduate of Pennsylvania State College, and a member of the American Chemical Society and the Technical Association of the Pulp and Paper Industry, the latter of which presented him with a gold medal in 1945 for his contributions to the industry.
He died at Washington's Emergency Hospital of a heart ailment from which he had suffered for about a week.
