Israel-headquartered Albaad has already independently developed a proprietaery technology for flushable fabrics as per the latest EDANA/INDA definitions and has now chosen Voith Paper and Trützschler as the technology partners for its commercialisation. 

In seeking tos ecure its leading position in Moist Toilet Paper globally, a new line will now be built for Albaad in Dimona, Israel, scheduled for start-up in 2015.

It will be engineered to allow a wide variety of customised flushable nonwovens

In addition, the energy-conscious Trützschler Streamliner drying system will makes its entry into a wet-in-wet production line to further reduce the operationl costs for the installation.
