Silica insulating material va-Q-vip

va-Q-vip is a microporous insulation material based on fumed silica powder. va-Q-vip elements are unique because of their rectangular edges and corners (va-Q-seam) whereas individual elements can be joined together almost seamlessly. In general rectangular panels are produced but various shapes (trapeze, triangle, corner section) are possible on request. The powdered core material ensures the outstanding insulation ability for the entire service life of the product. The typical fields of application are hot water tanks, logistics (cool boxes, etc.) and the automotive sector. Advantages of va-Q-vip Minor thermal conductivity Drastically reduced insulation thickness Increased useable volume All-purpose VIP with a long service life Properties of va-Q-vip Specifications Details : Enhanced usable room area due to thinner insulation material Smooth edges and no foil overlaps due to patented va-Q-seam technology Long durability due to optimized panel design 100 % quality control with the patented gas pressure measurement system (va-Q-check) Sustainable product (recyclable core material) Color : silver Density : 180 – 210 kg/m³ (d > 20 mm); 180 – 250 kg/m³ (d ≤ 20 mm) according to DIN EN 1602 [kg/m³] temperature resistance : -75 °C bis 100 °C (temporary up to 130 °C) Internal gas pressure at delivery : < 5 mbar (at delivery) Gas pressure rise : < 1,5 mbar/year (d = 20 mm) heat transfer coefficient (U-Wert) : 0,25 W/(m²∙K) (d = 20 mm) [W/(m²*K
