MALMÖ, Sweden, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- On the 29th of November, at the prestigious ISPO trade show, Polygiene launched a new innovation project, Polygiene ShedGuard.
Designed to minimize micro-fiber loss and improve resistance to fabric wear during washing, Polygiene ShedGuard extends textiles' expected lifespans, ensuring customers benefit from longer-lasting products. By facilitating the production of more durable textiles, Polygiene is putting its Mindful Living® philosophy into practice by encouraging the transition from consumables to durables and a more sustainable approach to product design and delivery.
The Polygiene ShedGuard innovation project is in the latter stages of development, with final testing and refinement due to take place in conjunction with selected Polygiene partners during 2024.
An effective, long-lasting solution
Polygiene Shedguard consists of a unique blend of polymers that form a film around the fiber bundles. The film prevent microfibrils from separating, splitting, and tearing away from the fabric structure.
Our research shows that Polygiene Shedguard reduces micro-fiber loss by up to 70%. At the same time, it benefits manufacturers and consumers by:
- Reducing wear from fabric abrasion.
- Prevents the release of fiber fragments into the surrounding environment.
- Enhances the performance of other Polygiene technologies, such as Polygiene StayFresh, Polygiene StayFreshBIO and Polygiene OdorCrunch, by locking in their antimicrobial and odor-control properties for even longer.
