In a world that is increasingly constrained by a lack of available space and is subject to a legal requirement to be more energy efficient, traditional insulations are not sufficient. Vacuum Insulated (VIP) Panels are the absolute cutting edge of thermal science. By removing the air—the vector for all heat transfer—Parknonwoven has created a "Thermal Fortress" that can achieve ten times the R-value of conventional mineral wool or foam insulations at a fraction of their thickness.

The 2026 world has one keyword: VIPs. Whether used in Cold Chain logistics solutions, Electric Vehicle (EV) battery enclosures, or high-performance architectural envelopes, VIPs are the solution.

The Mechanics of the Vacuum: Engineering the "Zero Conduction" Zone There are three ways to transfer heat: conduction, convection, and radiation. Conventional insulations simply impede these actions. Parknonwoven VIPs stop them virtually in their tracks by engineering a structural vacuum:

Elimination of Gas Conduction: We remove the gas molecules carrying the heat by evacuating the air from a unique core material, like fumed silica or high-density glass felt.

The Core & Envelope System: The core serves as the structural "skeleton" to prevent the vacuum from collapsing due to atmospheric pressure, while a multi-layer high-barrier film serves as a gas-tight "skin" to retain the vacuum for decades.

The Ultimate Lambda Value: While conventional foams have a conductivity rating of only 0.022 W/mK, an incredible 0.004 W/mK rating can be achieved with a Parknonwoven VIP, making it the most efficient insulator available in the market.

The Parknonwoven Advantage: 2026 Mastery in Advanced Insulation Parknonwoven is dedicated to giving you the highest performance cores and finished panels needed for the world's most sensitive thermal environments. With 25 years of mastery, we guarantee that your products will stay colder (or hotter) for longer, with no energy waste.

Ultra-Slim Profile for Maximum Volume: Space is money. Whether you’re designing a high-capacity refrigerator or a shipping container, Parknonwoven VIPs can help you increase internal volume by up to 30 percent without changing external dimensions.

Extended Cold Chain Security: In 2026's pharmaceutical industry, maintaining the "Deep Freeze" for vaccines is vital. Parknonwoven VIPs can extend the life of a shipping box's passive cooling period from hours to several days under extreme tropical conditions.

EV Battery Thermal Management: In Electric Vehicles, maintaining battery temperature within an optimal range is critical. Parknonwoven's ultra-thin profile panels can fit into the tightest spaces within a battery pack, protecting battery cells from temperature spikes outside.

Architectural Energy 'A' Rating: In green buildings designed for LEED and Passive House certifications, Parknonwoven VIPs are used in thin wall constructions and terraces to help maximize space without reducing energy efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Can Vacuum Insulated Panels be cut to size on-site? No. As the panel is factory-sealed in a vacuum environment, cutting the panel would result in "loss of vacuum" and would then only offer normal insulation performance. We offer custom sizes of the panel to meet your CAD drawings.

How long does the vacuum last? Our multi-layer barrier films ensure that the vacuum insulation performs for 25 to 50 years, depending on the application and environmental conditions.

Is the core material environmentally friendly? Yes. Our fumed silica and glass fiber materials are inorganic and non-toxic. In 2026, sustainability is also an important focus for us. At the end of the panel's lifecycle, the materials can be reclaimed and recycled into new insulation products.

Are VIPs fire-resistant? Absolutely. Our materials are inorganic (silica or glass), so they are naturally non-combustible. Our special films ensure that the fire safety requirements of the building and transportation industries are met.

How much space can I save by switching to VIPs? In general, a 20mm thick Parknonwoven VIP has the same insulation performance as 150mm to 200mm of traditional mineral wool or foam insulation.

In an era where urban space is at a premium and energy efficiency is a legal mandate, traditional insulation is no longer sufficient. Vacuum Insulated (VIP) Panels represent the absolute pinnacle of thermal science. By removing the air itself—the primary medium for heat transfer—Parknonwoven has engineered a "Thermal Fortress" that provides up to ten times the insulation value of conventional mineral wool or foam in a fraction of the thickness.

In the 2026 landscape, VIPs are the primary keyword for Cold-Chain logistics, Electric Vehicle (EV) battery enclosures, and high-performance architectural facades.

The Mechanics of the Vacuum: How It Outperforms Foam

Heat travels through three methods: conduction, convection, and radiation. Traditional insulation only slows this process. Parknonwoven VIPs virtually eliminate it:

Eliminating Gas Conduction: By evacuating the air from a specialized core material (such as fumed silica or high-density glass felt), we remove the molecules that carry heat.

The Core-and-Envelope System: The core provides the structural "skeleton" that prevents the vacuum from collapsing, while a multi-layer high-barrier film acts as a gas-tight "skin" to maintain the vacuum for decades.

Lowest Thermal Conductivity (Lambda): While standard foam has a thermal conductivity of around 0.022 W/mK, a Parknonwoven VIP achieves an incredible 0.004 W/mK, making it the most efficient thermal barrier on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can Vacuum Insulated Panels be cut to size on-site?

No. Because the panel relies on a factory-sealed vacuum, cutting it would cause "loss of vacuum," and it would revert to standard insulation values. Parknonwoven provides custom-sized panels tailored to your exact CAD specifications.

2. How long does the vacuum last?

With our advanced multi-layer barrier films, Parknonwoven VIPs are engineered for a service life of 25 to 50 years, depending on the application and environmental exposure.

3. Is the core material environmentally friendly?

Yes. Our fumed silica and glass fiber cores are inorganic and non-toxic. In 2026, we focus on circularity—at the end of the panel's life, the core materials can be recovered and recycled into new insulation products.

4. Are VIPs fire-resistant?

Absolutely. Because the core materials are inorganic (silica or glass), they are inherently non-combustible. Combined with our specialized films, Parknonwoven VIPs meet stringent fire safety standards for construction and transport.

5. How much space can I save by switching to VIPs?

Typically, a 20mm Parknonwoven VIP provides the same thermal protection as 150mm to 200mm of traditional mineral wool or EPS foam.
