What is Vacuum Insulation Panel - VIP

Vacuum Insulation Panel is the thinnest insulation with the most efficient thermal insulation.They have 8 to 10 times lower thermal conductivity than other conventional insulation materials such as rigid foam boards, foam beads or fiber blankets.

Rapid development of VIPs took place in the 80s when they were widely introduced into space and medical technology.

Using advanced and innovative technology, remarkably lower thermal conductivity at an extremely reduced insulation thickness is achieved. 

Not just thermal insulation layers, but the whole insulation systems could result in at least 5 times thinner solutions. Panels can be designed in virtually any size and are thus ideal for many different industrial applications.

Structure of TURVAC^® Vacuum Insulation Panel

Vacuum insulation panel consists of a special core material (fiber glass or foamed silica) inserted in an airtight high barrier, multi layer envelope, to which a vacuum under low pressure is applied. Through this process, the pane gains highest insulation characteristics.

Manufacture
VIPs are made by sealing the thermal insulation in a barrier film under vacuum:
1. Composition of the Core → 2. Composition of the Foil bag → 3. Vacuuming → 4. Testing

.

Performances of TURVAC® Vacuum Insulation Panel

Due to the low thermal conductivity of vacuum insulation panel (3,5mW/mK), with just 20 mm thickness, U value less than 0,22 W/(m2K) can be reached.

Use of vacuum insulation panels

Together with our partners TURVAC® products were successfully introduced:

• In household appliances.
• To reduce thermal bridges by building construction and adaptation.
• At window shutters, balconies and terraces.
• For cold chain distribution and TCP (temperature controlled packaging).
• In space limited situations and where highest insulation is required.
• At tailored made solutions.
