Bacteria-related odour
StayFresh limits the growth of odour-causing bacteria in textiles. It is an option to explore when the problem relates to wear, sweat and moisture.

StayFresh, OdorCrunch2.0 and fragrance: what to evaluate in each case
Start with the source of the odour, the fabric and the end use. These three details help define a useful trial before comparing technologies.
Odour molecules
OdorCrunch2.0 captures odour molecules within the textile structure. Selection should consider which odours occur and how the finish behaves during use and washing.
Evaluate OdorCrunch2.0 →Fragrance experience
Scentmaster provides fragrance or masking in compatible materials. Defining a desired scent is a different objective from controlling bacteria or capturing odour molecules.
Explore Scentmaster →A trial that supports a decision
- Describe the article: fibre, blend, fabric weight, construction and existing finishes.
- Define the problem: when the odour occurs, how the product is used and how it is washed.
- Set the success criteria: evaluation method, care cycles and properties to retain.
- Compare equivalent samples: the same fabric and process, with an untreated control.
- Review the overall result: odour, handle, colour, strength and compatibility with other finishes.
For example, a lightweight polyester T-shirt and a home furnishing cover may need different trials. Choosing the same technology because both are textiles does not guarantee the same result.
Can they be combined?
Polygiene presents the combination of StayFresh and OdorCrunch as an option. Compatibility and performance of the complete formulation must be confirmed for each fabric and process.
What to bring to a technical discussion
A sample, fabric composition, finishing process, washing protocol and a specific description of the odour guide selection more effectively than a generic request for an “anti-odour treatment”.
