Creating space and saving energy

VIPA International is the global voice of the VIP industry, promoting quality and raising awareness about the potential of VIPs to save space and energy costs, to increase energy efficiency and to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in a wide range of applications and industries.

Vacuum Insulation Panels are 5 to 10 times better than other insulation materials as they have:

Low thermal conductivity

Between 0.002 and 0.008 w/(m*K) after production.

Long-term thermal performance

Low insulation
thickness

Great
durability

APPLICATIONS

VIP Applications

Case studies

High performing insulation technology

Applications of VIPs are very numerous: they can be used to insulate buildings (floors, roofs, facades and walls), home appliances (refrigerators, freezers and water boilers), temperature-controlled packaging solutions for medical and pharmaceutical industries or vending machines and cold store units. VIPs are also used in certain automotive applications, such as in trains, ships and airplanes.
