Sanitized® OdorexTM has been specially developed by our Swiss laboratories to reduce odors in textiles without using a biocide. It even meets the guidelines of bluesign® and is OEKO-TEX® ECOPASSPORT approved. Sanitized® OdorexTM patented technology also complies with all global approval requirements and is not subject to the European Biocidal Products Regulation (BPR).

How does Sanitized® OdorexTM work?

Sanitized® OdorexTM  targets odor molecules and traps them in its structure; it is a ‘passive system’ of odor control, not an ‘active system’ which would involve a biocide to inhibit bacterial growth.


As a passive system, Sanitized® OdorexTM  traps foul-smelling odor molecules as they are released, keeping fabrics fresh and clean smelling. Odor molecules are released from OdorexTM upon washing, and so its capacity to trap new odor molecules is refreshed with each wash. This product is not a sanitizer, no pesticide active substance included

Sanitized® OdorexTM is particularly well-suited for use in sports textiles, workwear, shoes, and even in clothing for those who struggle with body odor concerns. The reason is that many of the garments listed here are either made from polyester, or microfibre, or have other delicate wash requirements.  At the same time, many of the activities these garments are subject to on a daily basis result in the completely natural process of sweating.

What is Permastink?

Permastink is the malodor trapped in fabrics that simply cannot be washed out. It is already present in freshly washed clothes before wearing. With repeated use and gentle washing, permastink is inevitable in untreated clothes, resulting in a shorter garment life and less customer satisfaction. Give your fabrics a high-end selling point by treating them with Sanitized® OdorexTM to prevent bad odors. The Sanitized® OdorexTM passive system helps clothes to be worn up to 5 times longer.

The new OX20 product is usable on cotton, viscose, or synthetic fibers. It does not contain any biocides, it is highly wash-resistant, and it can be combined well with other effects.
