is the newest family in the Avgol FIT technology platform – a suite of fabric solutions focused on replacing elements of spunlaid nonwoven fabric design, where possible, with natural alternatives. Whether we displace resin content with a specially designed mineral-based filler and/or integrate organically sourced treatments and additives, the results are products unique not only to Avgol, but to the entire industry.
