Malmö, Sweden – Swedish antimicrobial supplier Polygiene AB supplies leading sportwear manufacturers with permanent odor control technology that lasts the lifetime of the garment or the gear. Polygiene® active odor control technology complements other high-tech functions, such as wind resistance and moisture wicking, without affecting performance characteristics of the materials.

Behind the proven effectiveness of Polygiene technology is silver salt, a highly effective antimicrobial made from recycled silver.
