Welcome to the September edition of the Polygiene blog. This month, we got together with COLOURizd CEO and co-founder Jennifer Thompson for a deeper dive into Polygiene’s collaboration with the dyeing specialists. We also feature a review of the Montane Dart T-shirt, after it was put through its paces on a three-week cycling trip. Finally, we preview the upcoming FFF and Performance Days shows, and get a Polygiene Pick from Polygiene Head of Marketing, Rebecka Harvyl.
Recently, we brought you news of an exciting collaboration with COLOURizd, the folks behind QuantumCOLOUR™ – a mechanical yarn colouration system that does away with water baths, wastewater discharge, and reactive chemistry. We wanted to see whether Polygiene additives could be integrated into COLOURizd’s QuantumCOLOUR™ system, enabling mills to apply pigments, binders, and Polygiene protection at the same time, in a single, streamlined process.
Removing and preventing pet odors in the home involves using odor-control technologies to tackle the root causes, such as odor-causing bacteria and smelly molecules, encouraging good pet behaviours, and implementing a regular cleaning routine.
Whether polyester or cotton is the best option depends entirely on the context in which the material will be used. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, and you need to match the material to the intended application.
Welcome to the September's edition of the Polygiene news. This month, we sat down to talk with the folks at one of British Columbia’s most interesting and influential outdoor apparel brands – 7mesh. In an excellent interview, we discuss the brand’s origins, what the company’s hometown of Squamish means to the business, and where Polygiene technology fits into the picture. We also announce an exciting collaboration with fabric dyeing pioneers COLOURizd, and get a Polygiene Pick from Polygiene Copywriter, Luke Godfrey.
Based in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, 7mesh is one of the most exciting outdoor apparel brands in the Americas. With an eye-catching pedigree (7mesh’s founders left Arc’teryx to start a company that did things differently), the brand designs and manufactures high-performance clothing that’s inspired by the adventurous life. Whether it’s practical cargo bibs for all-day biking adventures, trail shorts made for an end-of-day hot lap on your local trails, or lightweight but hardwearing hiking trousers, 7mesh apparel excels in all conditions and any terrain.
Unpleasant odors don’t just smell bad, they affect how we feel about our immediate environment, perceive cleanliness, and assess the quality of a place or product. Whether it’s musty carpets, damp bathrooms, or smoke odors, unwanted smells develop for various reasons – and effective odor control depends on understanding those root causes.
A mattress protector is a simple and effective way to keep your bed clean, fresh, and in good condition, while also ensuring your expensive mattress lasts longer. Acting as a barrier between your body and the mattress, it protects against sweat, body oils, dead skin cells, spills, and other stains. Waterproof designs can also prevent liquids from soaking into the mattress, so you don’t have to worry about drying it out or lingering damp smells.
Bad smells in sneakers are usually the result of odor-causing bacteria that thrive in the warm, moist, and sweaty conditions found in footwear. Fortunately, there are ways to tackle the root causes, remove sneaker smells, and prevent them from returning as regularly. This can include odor-capture and antibacterial additive technologies, careful maintenance regimes, home remedies, and additional hygiene measures.
Welcome to this month’s Polygiene blog updates. In this edition, we have some exciting news about our work with trailblazing mountain biking specialists Chromag Bikes and do a deep dive on Polygiene’s third-party accreditations and what they mean for our partners and end users. There’s a fantastic personal history of Polygiene from our VP of Commercial Operations, and this month’s Polygiene Pick comes from Polygiene’s Head of Digital Marketing & Brand, Andreas Grevlind.
Polygiene has always been about making everyday products better. By helping clothes, footwear and other textiles stay fresh, the brand gives people the freedom to wear more, wash less and enjoy their products for longer.
The best way to remove and prevent sweat smells on clothes is to wash items immediately after use, air-dry them thoroughly, and avoid bacterial build-up by choosing items treated with antibacterial odor-control solutions. However, sometimes we need to go the extra distance and require a few extra tips and tricks. In this article, we guide you through a series of practical techniques and tools to help you remove and prevent the smell of sweat on clothing.
Strong partnerships and close collaboration with our brand partners are at the heart of what we do. Trangoworld, a leading Spanish outdoor brand with decades of experience in developing high-performance gear for mountain adventures and beyond, has trusted Polygiene® for many years to add lasting freshness and reliable odor-control to their product range.
Whether you're training for a marathon, hitting the gym, cycling to work, or playing in your local football league, what you wear has a significant impact on your comfort and ability to perform. Over the last few decades, modern sportswear has embraced advanced technical fabrics and game-changing textile technologies, ensuring professional and amateur athletes have access to an incredible array of high-performance apparel. But this can make choosing between fabrics, or matching the right fiber to the right sport, incredibly tricky.
Great ideas often emerge through collaboration and networking. When Igor Ryabinin, Head of SPORT VERNETZT, introduced the project at a BSI event, we at Polygiene immediately knew that this was an initiative we wanted to support.
This month, we bring you several Polygiene-treated summer selections, highlighting warm-weather, fresher-for-longer products set to make a big splash this season. We have the initial findings and several headline stats from our most recent consumer report, and details of the upcoming Functional Fabric Fair New York. Finally, this month’s Polygiene Pick comes from Nick Brosnan, Polygiene’s Marketing Manager for the Americas.
Whether you are getting involved in the Couch to 5k, regularly hitting the treadmill at the gym, or training for a marathon, all athletes are likely to struggle with smelly running shoes at some point. Your running shoes are exposed to a lot of hard miles, and all that dirt, rain, and sweat is a perfect recipe for unpleasant odors.
Clothing choice makes a significant difference to your comfort and confidence when summer arrives and temperatures start to rise. Carefully selected summer clothing can help regulate body temperature, improve airflow, and move moisture away from the skin. On the other hand, apparel made from the wrong fabrics will leave you feeling hot, sticky, and sweaty.
May was an exciting month for Polygiene as many of the team headed to Berlin for our annual all-company meeting. This month’s blog features a round-up of events in the German capital, as well as an interview with Polygiene CEO, Dr. Sandrine Garnier. We’ll have news of our upcoming attendance at Functional Fabric Fair New York, as well as our brand-new Polygiene Picks feature. Enjoy!
Having had six months to settle into her new role as Polygiene Group CEO, we thought it was about time we sat down with Dr. Sandrine Garnier and learned a little more about her personal and professional journey.
