Characteristics | |
The vacuum insulation panel va-Q-vip B is officially certified with approval No. Z-23.11-1658 from the German Institute for Building Technology (DIBT) on 21 June 2007 and with extended application fields on 24 July 2008. The core of the panel consists of an amorphous silicon dioxide powder and an inorganic opacifier. The panel is sealed under vacuum into a metallized high barrier film. The high barrier film itself is covered on the exterior with a black glass fibre textile for mechanical shock protection. The flammability of va-Q-vip B is according to DIN 4102-B2. va-Q-vip B panels are characterized by their special film folding technology (va-Q-seam) at the edges. Therefore individual panels can be tightly fit together, making an almost gapless assembly possible. Other shapes are available on request. |  |
Applications | |
va-Q-vip B is specially developed for building insulation applications. va-Q-vip B with a drastically reduced insulation thickness open new possibilities in building insulation. va-Q-vip B can be used in a wide field in building application. (DAD, DAA, DZ, DI, DEO, WAB, WH and WI according to the standard DIN 4108-10, table 1, which is internal and external insulation, wall, floor, roof, etc.) Bilding promoters, installation partners or architects should be responsible for the specific construction system. Building system application can be discussed directly with va-Q-tec. Information on general installation and application instruction can be found on the va-Q-tec internet homepage or in an extra building brochure. |  |
