What are the benefits of Polygiene?
• Polygiene inhibits the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi that cause odor.
• Your garments, footwear and gear will:
• Stay Fresh – Polygiene inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria. Odor develops when bacteria settles into the fabric, mixes with sweat and multiplies.
• Hygienic – Less bacteria and fungi in footwear, wetsuits and gear helps reduce tinea infections, such as athlete’s foot.
• Environmentally friendly - Polygiene-treated clothing can be worn for longer periods of time before laundering is required. Therefore less energy, less water and less detergent are used. When traveling or hiking, you can pack less clothing and travel light with less luggage.
• Longer lifetime – Prolongs garment, footwear and gear lifetime by eliminating the bacteria that break down synthetic fibers.
• Polygiene treatment is guaranteed to last the lifetime of the garment, footwear or gear.
What is Polygiene and how does it work?
• Polygiene is based on natural silver salt made from recycled silver
• Silver salt is naturally present both in water (drinking water as well as sea water) and in the soil.
• Polygiene particles have a large amount of silver ions per surface area. Due to the structure of the particles, very small amounts of silver are required. Treating 5,000 garments or approximately 1,000 kilos of fabric requires the same amount of silver as one or two silver rings.
• Polygiene is applied to the fabric during the finishing stage at the same time as other treatments. This helps minimize impact on the environment because additional energy or water is not required.
Safe next to your skin
• Polygiene is active only on the fabric surface and does not interfere with the ski’s natural bacterial flora.
• Polygiene particles are more than 100 times larger than nanosilver particles and therefore are too large to pass through the skin. According to scientific research, nanosilver particles can penetrate the skin barrier and interfere with the skin’s natural bacterial flora.
• Polygiene has its heritage in the healthcare sector, and Polygiene technology is approved for use on open wounds. It is therefore safe for use next to the skin, even for people with eczema and foot
