Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 builds on the original technology and delivers higher odour absorption across polyester, blended fabrics and natural fibres, without affecting material performance.

New Options for Finishing Specialists

Reducing odours in textiles without the use of heavy metals remains a challenge for many finishing operations. Polygiene addresses this with a non?metallic mechanism that binds odour molecules within the fabric structure. The process is suitable for lightweight 100% polyester as well as blends and natural fibres. That widens the range of potential applications.

The technology integrates smoothly into established finishing lines. Both padding and exhaust processes are possible. No additional steps are required, which makes adoption straightforward. OdorCrunch2.0 remains stable within the textile, a result supported by ISO 17299 testing that shows high odour reduction.

Relevance for Demanding Product Segments

Performance and activewear are washed frequently, yet rely heavily on effective odour control. OdorCrunch2.0 supports both needs. Molecules are trapped before they can be released during wear, helping garments stay fresh for longer. There is an added benefit for textiles that are difficult to clean. Some garments require specialised care. If freshness is retained between cleaning cycles, the need for washing decreases. This can support a longer product lifespan while maintaining the fabric’s original qualities.

Sustainability rules

The formulation is free from heavy metals and PFAS. Its biodegradability is currently being tested. Extended wear between washes contributes to a lower water and energy footprint over a garment’s lifetime.
