The technology
Stubborn smells can cling to fabrics and mess with wearer confidence. But now stubborn smells are a thing of the past, enter the next evolution in odor control technology, Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0!
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is an odor capture technology designed to significantly reduce odors in apparel and textiles. It works by capturing odor molecules, delivering long-lasting freshness.
The science
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 helps maintain freshness between wash cycles across a wide range of everyday and performance textiles by absorbing odor molecules during use, supporting both longevity and wearer confidence. In addition, the technology is designed to perform reliably on challenging fabrics, including lightweight 100% polyester.
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 does not contain any heavy metals and works by adapting proven capture mechanisms for effective odor control in textiles, capturing odor molecules, preventing them from being released during wear.
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 works by capturing and absorbing a high load of environmental odor-causing molecules within the textile structure, enabling extended wear between washes. By binding these molecules, the technology prevents the release of odors during wear, helping garments stay fresher for longer without impacting fabric comfort, appearance, or breathability. During laundering, the absorbed odors are released, refreshing the technology’s odor-capture capacity for continued performance.
BENEFITS OF POLYGIENE ODORCRUNCH2.0 ODOR CONTROL
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is designed to directly capture odor molecules within the textile structure. The odor absorbing technology works by absorbing odor molecules, preventing them from being released during wear, enabling reliable performance on challenging fabrics where traditional solutions can struggle, including 100% polyester. It also delivers durable performance without altering fabric comfort, breathability, or appearance.
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is suitable for a wide range of textile and apparel applications, including:
Designed for modern textile manufacturing, Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 combines high-performance odor absorption with ease of application and broad fabric compatibility. The result is a versatile, future-ready odor control solution that performs where others fall short.
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 delivers durable odor absorption performance and has been tested in accordance with ISO 17299-3.
Clothing treated with Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 odor capture technology can be worn more and washed less, saving energy and water.
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 has been specifically designed to perform reliably on challenging fabrics, that includes lightweight 100 % polyester, as well as polyester blends, poly-cotton blends, cellulosics, nylon, and other knit and woven fabrics.
Once added to the textile, Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 helps the fabric interact better and hold odor compounds locked inside the fabric so that they’re not released during wear. The result is a garment that stays fresher in real use and the unwanted odors are removed in the wash.
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 builds on the legacy of the original Polygiene OdorCrunch technology. The first generation used silica-based absorbent particles embedded in textiles to capture and break down odor molecules helping garments stay fresher for longer.
Now, Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 expands that foundation with enhanced performance, broader fabric compatibility, and improved durability. The capture-based technology delivers high-performance odor reduction across a wider range of textiles, including lightweight 100% polyester, blends, and natural fibers and integrates seamlessly into modern textile finishing processes.
Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is designed for modern textile manufacturing and can be easily integrated into existing finishing processes, including padding and exhaust application methods.
Certification to standards such as bluesign®, OEKO-TEX® and GOTS is currently pending. Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is designed to meet leading industry requirements and customer expectations.
