How Does Polygiene Work?

We’re excited to have recently partnered with Polygiene on some innovative Propper base layers. Want to learn how this technology works? 

From Polygiene on their Odor Control Technology:

"Polygiene prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi at the source, permanently. To do this Polygiene uses low concentrations of silver salt (silver chloride), which has antimicrobial properties and is naturally present in water and soil, to safely eliminate the ability for bacteria and fungi to grow.

The permanent treatment is applied at the finishing stages of textile production and field and lab tests show a high level of odor control beyond the usual lifespan of a garment. This lifespan odor control is possible as the technology is bound and permanently integrated in the fabric and will not wash out.

Polygiene silver salt technology is only active on the textiles itself and with a heritage in the healthcare sector Polygiene has applied its expertise and testing to ensure that there is no affect on the natural bacterial flora of the skin. Polygiene is not nanosilver."

> Polygiene prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi at the source
> Polygiene is only active on the textiles itself and does not interfere with the skins natural bacterial flora
> Polygiene odor control will not wash out as the technology is bound and permanently integrated in the fabric
