Summer 2010 collections to feature Polygiene® active odor control

Malmö, Sweden – Polygiene AB, a leading worldwide supplier of antimicrobial solutions, announces the introduction of Polygiene® active odor control technology to the Summer Collections 2010 of bike wear manufacturers, including Briko, Jeantex, Maloja, Nalini, Sitip, TMF and other leading brands.

“We are honored to be working with some of the most respected brands in industry,” says Christian von Uthmann, CEO of Polygiene AB. “We look forward to continued collaboration to help our bike wear partners expand their growing line of high-tech offerings.”

From base layers to jerseys and shirts and from cycling shorts and tights to gloves, socks and shoes, Polygiene provides active odor control for all cycling apparel and gear – even padded seat liners and helmets. With Polygiene, recreational cyclists and pro cycling athletes alike can enjoy that fresh-all-day feeling – whether commuting to work or racing professionally. Apparel and gear stay fresh and hygienic – and so do the people wearing them.

Based on natural silver salt, Polygiene is a highly effective antimicrobial made from recycled silver. Polygiene effectively inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria and eliminates fungi that contribute to tinea infections, more commonly known as jock itch and athlete’s foot.

Permanent and environmentally friendly, the active odor control effect meets the highest standards for skin safety and hygiene. Approved for use in the textile industry by Oeko-Tex® and bluesign®. Virtually any fabric type can be enhanced with permanent anti-odor properties using Polygiene – without affecting color, comfort or other fabric characteristics.
