As consumer expectations continue to evolve, freshness, performance, and durability are more important than ever. Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 builds on the foundation of our original OdorCrunch technology with enhanced performance, broader fabric compatibility, and improved durability, delivering high-performance odor absorption across a wide range of textile applications.
A Different Way to Address Odor
Unlike technologies that focus on reducing bacteria or masking unwanted smells, Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 targets odor molecules directly. During wear, the technology captures and absorbs odor molecules within the textile structure, helping prevent them from being released.
When the garment is washed, the absorbed odor molecules are released, effectively refreshing the technology’s odor-capture capacity for continued performance.
The result? Garments that stay fresher for longer between wash cycles, without compromising comfort, breathability, or appearance.
Designed for Modern Textiles
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 has been engineered to perform reliably on challenging fabrics, including lightweight 100% polyester, as well as blended and natural fibre constructions.
It integrates seamlessly into existing textile finishing processes, including padding and exhaust application methods, making it easy for mills and brands to adopt.
The technology delivers durable odor absorption performance up to 50 washes and has been tested in accordance with ISO 17299, including on lightweight polyester fabrics.
Supporting Longer Wear
Today’s textile industry is increasingly focused on longevity and responsible product use. Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 supports this shift by helping garments maintain freshness between wash cycles.
By enabling products to be worn more times between washing, the technology has the potential to support reduced water and energy usage over a product’s lifetime, aligning with Polygiene’s commitment to more mindful living.
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is heavy-metal free, PFAS-free, and its biodegradability properties are currently under testing.
Expanding the Odor Control Portfolio
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 complements Polygiene’s broader portfolio of performance technologies, including StayFresh and StayCool. Together, these solutions provide brands with flexible, high-performance options to meet diverse market needs.
With Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0, Polygiene continues to strengthen its position as a leader in innovative, non-metal odor control technologies for textiles.
As consumer expectations continue to evolve, freshness, performance, and durability are more important than ever.
