Polygiene StayCool is based on a thermoactive composition that binds to textile fibers and is activated upon contact with moisture and heat, creating a cooling effect and lowering the fabric temperature between 2 - 3°C. The technology is compatible with various materials, including cotton, synthetic fibers, and recycled textiles, and is particularly suited for sportswear, everyday clothing, bedding, and workwear.

The global market for cooling technologies is expected to experience strong growth in the coming years, and Polygiene Group is well-positioned to capitalize on this development. By expanding its product portfolio with StayCool, the company strengthens its competitiveness and market share in functional textiles, creating new business opportunities and increasing its appeal to both existing and future partners.

"We are taking it to the next level with Polygiene StayCool – an advanced technology that delivers superior comfort and can be used both independently and in combination with our other Freshness technologies," says Haymo Strubel, Global Commercial Head of Textiles. "By combining cooling with long-lasting odor control, Polygiene StayCool ensures that textiles maintain freshness and comfort over time."

The launch of StayCool is a strategic initiative that strengthens the company’s position as a leading provider of additives for functional textiles. The expanded product portfolio paves the way for increased profitability and long-term growth, aligning with Polygiene Group's ambition to deliver sustainable shareholder value and continue its expansion in the rapidly growing market for textile innovations.

Polygiene StayCool will be launched at Performance Days in Munich in March and will be available from spring 2025.
