VERSATILE: Dealing with a space constraint? Advanc-R® VIP is thin, rigid, and nonstructural to minimize your roofing system's profile and maximize building space. It's excellent for re-roofing commercial buildings and the construction of new commercial building roofs. Plus, the panels' exacting square edges ensure a tighter fit than other thermal building materials. 

SUPER INSULATING: The unique, absorbent, and microporous glass fiber core of Advanc-R® VIP is sealed in a gas-tight outer envelope to ensure the product's super-insulating performance. Advanc-R® VIP offers a thermal conductivity of 0.002 W/mk and an R-value of 66/inch. 

DURABLE: This is Panasonic's longest life VIP that integrates 18+ years of Panasonic technology. Advanc-R® VIP is Class A Fire and Smoke rated and highly-resistant to water and mold. 

NON-TOXIC: Advanc-R® VIP is made from 100% non-toxic materials. Over 80% of these materials are made from recycled materials, making them more environmentally friendly.

The main features of VIPs - VIPA International

The first VIP was made in from a porous material enclosed in rubber. In the s, a glass wool core was welded to a steel panel. Nanostructured materials began to appear in the s. The development of VIPs intensified and the first VIPs made of precipitated silica began to appear in the s.

The principles of Vacuum Insulation have been known for around 100 years and have been used in appliance design for many decades. Now materials science has advanced and attention on the energy efficiency of buildings has increased. It follows that VIP products are being broadly applied in many industries where they were not previously used.

Each structure has its inherent solid mechanical properties. The minimum density to withstand atmospheric pressure loads is distinctive. The same is valid for the centre of panel (COP) value for the thermal conductivity, which depends on the solid backbone of the core material. The core material should have the lowest possible thermal conductivity to ensure the VIP’s best performance.

Optimum materials have a microporous structure and are able to absorb humidity. Otherwise, getters have to be added. The most common core materials are fumed silica and glass fibres. In a few cases open-cell polymer foams, such as special polyurethane or polystyrene foams, are used.

The thermal conductivity of a well-evaluated dry VIP with a fumed silica core is about 0.004 W/(m•K) after production. It is about 0.020 W/(m•K) at ambient pressure. By comparison, thermal conductivities of conventional insulation materials are typically between 0.030 and 0.040 W/(m•K).

Vacuum Insulation Technology provides:

  • Extremely low insulation thicknesses (10 mm to 25 mm), increasing the volume capacity of applications for which a lack of space for insulation thickness is an issue. Moreover, the performance is stable and long-term thermal when panels are installed correctly and protected from damage and penetration.
  • High-performance thermal insulation panels have a thermal conductivity 8 to 10 times lower than other conventional insulation materials (3 mW/(m•K). In addition, it is possible to have a new design and construction.

Estimations of the payback period (PBP) should include the value of the floor space made available by the thinness of the VIPs. Construction materials must have extremely long service lives.

VIPs reach the end of their service life when the gas pressure rises above 50 to 100 mbar. For this reason, much research and development is focused on the envelope of the VIP. Further research into panel construction could maximise the service life cycle to many decades or even a century.
