va-Q-vips

Characteristics
va-Q-vip is an evacuated microporous thermal insulating panel with extremely low thermal conductivity, i.e. excellent insulating properties. The core of va-Q-vip comprises inorganic oxides, up to 80 % being fumed silica and the rest IR opacifiers and a small amount of organic fibres. The core itself is noncombustible, it is sealed in a high gas barrier film under vacuum. The high gas barrier film ensures that the va-Q-vip contains the necessary vacuum level for many years. In general we produce rectangular panels. Due to the special folding technique (va-Q-seam), va-Q-vip have a smooth and rectangular edge. Thus the panels can be put together almost without any gap. Other shapes are possible on demand.

Application
va-Q-vip was specially developed for insulation applications where not much space is available but a high thermal resistance is necessary.

va-Q-vip is a successful insulation material in the following areas:

* Building application (Facade, floor, etc.)
* Packaging (thermal transport boxes, etc.)
* Logistics (truck bodies, tank containers, etc)
* Domestic appliances (Refrigerator and freezing, etc.)

For the building application va-Q-vip B can be also used (Official approval in Germany).

Advantage
* Drastically reduced heat fluxes
* Drastically reduced insulation thickness
* Increased usable volume
* Long lifetime: Up to 50 years
