PITTSBURGH (KDKA) – Revolutionary, innovative and made right here in Pennsylvania. A new coronavirus-killing face covering hopes to change the way we think about disposable masks.
Ramshield, Inc., a company based in Exton, Pennsylvania, created the AVF Shield, but it only works because of a one-of-a-kind foam invented at Bergad Specialty Foams in Armstrong County.
“Many of our customers will come to us looking for a material that doesn’t exist,” said Paul Bergad, owner of Bergad’s Specialty Foams.
Bergard’s company invents and produces foams for all kinds of things from wheelchair cushions to surgical pads to custom cooling foam for the ear-pieces of headphones.
