Polygiene Unveils OdorCrunch2.0: Advanced Odour Control Technology for Contemporary Textiles

Polygiene, a global frontrunner in innovative odour control solutions for textiles, has introduced Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0, an advanced odour capture technology engineered to substantially reduce odours in apparel and textiles through a non-metallic capture mechanism.

Building upon the foundation of the original Polygiene OdorCrunch, this new iteration offers improved odour absorption across a broader spectrum of fabrics, including lightweight 100% polyester, blended materials, and natural fibres. The technology functions by trapping environmental odour molecules within the textile fibres, preventing their release during wear and thereby helping garments maintain freshness for longer periods.

Distinct from traditional odour control methods, Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 is free from heavy metals and employs a mechanism that retains odour molecules without affecting fabric comfort, breathability, appearance, or overall performance.

Designed for compatibility with modern textile manufacturing, Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 can be seamlessly integrated into existing finishing processes such as padding and exhaust application. It offers durable odour absorption capabilities and has demonstrated significant odour reduction in accordance with ISO 17299-3 standards, including on lightweight 100% polyester fabrics.

Beyond performance and activewear, this technology is particularly suited to textiles that are infrequently washed or require specialist care, such as dry-clean-only garments. By preserving freshness between cleaning cycles, it supports garment longevity through reduced washing frequency while enhancing wearer confidence across a wider range of apparel categories.

Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 also aligns with increasing sustainability demands within the textile sector. It contains no heavy metals or PFAS, and its biodegradability is currently under evaluation. By enabling garments to be worn more times between washes, the technology has the potential to contribute to reductions in water and energy consumption over the lifespan of a product.

Combining high-performance odour absorption, extensive fabric compatibility, ease of application, and a forward-looking sustainability profile, Polygiene OdorCrunch2.0 marks the next advancement in Polygiene’s odour control offerings.
