va-Q-vip

Characteristics

va-Q-vip is an evacuated micro porous thermal insulating panel with excellent insulating properties. The core material of va-Q-vip is fumed Silica board and noncombustible. It is sealed into a high gas barrier film under vacuum.

Due to the special "Edge fold technique va-Q-seam", va-Q-vip has a smooth and rectangular edge. Therefore individual va-Q-vips can be tightly fitted together, making an almost gapless assembly possible. In general va-Q-vip is produced rectangular shape and other shapes such as triangle, trapezium, cornet cut and oval cut  etc. are available on request.

Application

va-Q-vip is 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 element in the following areas:
  • Building application (Roofs, floors, etc)
  • Thermal packaging (Medicine trnasport boxes, etc.)
  • Appliance (Water boiler, etc.)
  • Automotive (train, ship, air plains, etc.)

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

Advantage

  • Drastically reduced heat fluxes
  • Drastically reduced insulation thickness
  • Increased usable volume
  • All purpose VIP with a long service life
