PALAMOS | Mens High Performance Graphene Polo

{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What does graphene actually do in a polo shirt fabric?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Graphene is a single-atom-thick layer of carbon with exceptional thermal conductivity. When infused into polyester fibres as graphene PET, it gives the fabric the ability to actively move heat rather than simply insulating or absorbing it. In practice, this means the PALAMOS pulls heat away from your body during exertion, helping regulate temperature in warm conditions, and it can also help retain warmth when ambient temperatures drop. Graphene also has natural antimicrobial properties, which reduce odour-causing bacteria in the fabric during extended wear."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What does AS/NZS 4399 certification mean?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"AS/NZS 4399 is the Australian and New Zealand Standard for sun protective clothing. A UPF 50+ rating certified to this standard means the fabric has been independently tested and confirmed to block over 98% of UV radiation. This is the highest rating category in the standard. For procurement, workplace health and safety, or outdoor uniform requirements that specify certified sun protection, the PALAMOS Mens meets the standard without requiring additional protective measures."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Does the graphene performance degrade over time or after washing?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The graphene is infused into the polyester fibre rather than applied as a surface coating, which means it does not wash off over time. The thermal regulation and antimicrobial properties are structural to the yarn. Wash as you would any performance polyester: cold or warm water, gentle cycle, low-heat or line dry. Avoid fabric softeners, which can coat the fibres and reduce the thermal conductivity of the graphene component over extended use."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Is the PALAMOS suitable for roles with significant outdoor sun exposure?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. The UPF 50+ certified to AS/NZS 4399 means the PALAMOS provides genuine, independently verified protection against UV radiation. For outdoor roles in horticulture, construction, field services, or any work environment with extended sun exposure, the PALAMOS delivers both performance comfort and sun protection without needing a separate sun-protection garment layer."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Can the PALAMOS Mens be decorated with a company logo?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Yes. The PALAMOS is ready for embroidery, heat transfer, and screen printing. The fabric weight and construction handle embroidery cleanly at standard logo sizes, and the performance surface takes heat transfer well. Standard left chest placement works for most corporate logo applications."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How does the PALAMOS compare to a standard polyester performance polo?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"A standard polyester performance polo manages moisture by wicking sweat away from the skin to the fabric surface where it can evaporate. The PALAMOS does this too, but the graphene component adds active thermal conduction, which is a different mechanism: it moves heat through the fabric rather than waiting for evaporative cooling. The net result is faster temperature regulation, particularly in environments where both exertion and changing conditions are factors. The antimicrobial properties are also more durable than topical antimicrobial treatments commonly used on standard performance fabrics."}}]}
