VIP vs conventional insulation

VIP vs conventional insulation

When every millimetre matters

Not every application requires Vacuum Insulation Panels. But when space is limited, temperatures must remain stable or performance targets are demanding, conventional insulation can quickly reach its limits.

Vacuum Insulation Panels provide a different approach. By delivering significantly higher thermal performance within a much thinner profile, VIPs unlock design possibilities that are often impossible to achieve with traditional insulation materials.

More performance in less space

The biggest advantage of Vacuum Insulation Panels is simple: exceptional thermal performance at minimal thickness.

While conventional insulation materials require increasingly thicker constructions to improve thermal performance, VIP technology achieves comparable results with a fraction of the thickness.

What this means for your applications:

  • Thinner insulation walls → more usable space
  • Longer temperature hold times → increased reliability
  • Smaller packaging footprint → lower logistics costs
  • Enhanced protection of high-value, temperature-sensitive payloads
  • Powering cold chain transport → increasing your payload and reducing shipper size without losing thermal margin → maximising load capacity
