VIPs are advanced insulation materials that consist of a core material (like super-fine fiberglass or microporous fumed silica) enclosed in a gas-tight envelope, under a vacuum pressure of ≤ 1 Pa. This vacuum significantly reduces heat transfer through conduction and convection, offering superior insulation performance. Think of it like an incredibly efficient thermal flask that keeps your drink hot or cold by preventing heat from getting in or out.

VIPs have extremely low thermal conductivity, making them much more efficient than traditional materials like XPS or mineral wool. For example, a 15 mm thick fiberglass VIP has a thermal conductivity of ≤ 2.5 mW/(mK), allowing for thinner layers with higher insulation performance. This means buildings can be insulated more effectively without losing valuable space, ultimately reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.

In both cold and hot climates, VIPs minimize heat loss or gain, reducing the need for heating or cooling. This lowers energy consumption and, consequently, carbon emissions from fossil fuel-powered systems. It's like wearing a high-performance thermal jacket; you stay comfortable inside without having to constantly adjust the heating or cooling, leading to significant energy savings.

Absolutely! VIPs are versatile and can be adapted to various shapes, sizes, and geometries, making them suitable for new constructions as well as retrofitting existing buildings. Whether you're designing a modern home or upgrading an old office building, VIPs can be tailored to meet specific insulation needs without compromising on space or aesthetics.

Yes, VIPs come in two main types: fiberglass with getter/desiccant and fumed silica. Each has its unique properties, like thermal conductivity and weight, making them suitable for different applications. For instance, fiberglass VIPs might be preferred for lightweight needs, while fumed silica VIPs could be chosen for their slightly better insulation performance.

Indeed, VIPs typically have a high fire rating of A, meaning they're non-combustible and enhance fire safety in construction applications. This adds an extra layer of security to buildings, much like a fire-resistant safe protects valuable documents in a fire.

While the initial investment in VIPs might be higher than traditional materials, the long-term energy savings and environmental benefits they offer make them a cost-effective solution. Think of it as investing in a high-quality appliance that uses less electricity; the upfront cost is higher, but the energy savings over time make it worth it.

Thanks to their thin profile and flexibility in shape and size, VIPs can be seamlessly integrated into building designs without compromising aesthetics or internal space. This allows architects and designers to maintain their vision while achieving high insulation performance, akin to integrating high-tech features into a sleek smartphone design.

Yes, VIPs are also used in electric vehicles, transportation (like in cargo containers), refrigeration (enhancing efficiency in refrigerators), electronics, and even medical and pharmaceutical storage, thanks to their excellent thermal insulation properties.

Sanyou's VIPs are made with two types of core materials: super-fine fiberglass and fumed silica. Fiberglass VIPs incorporate a getter/desiccant to maintain the vacuum, whereas fumed silica VIPs do not have a getter/desiccant.

The thermal conductivity for Sanyou's VIPs is impressively low, ensuring superior insulation performance. For fiberglass VIPs (15 mm thick), the thermal conductivity is ≤ 0.0025 W/(mk), and for fumed silica VIPs (25 mm thick), it is ≤ 0.0045 W/(mk).

Sanyou's VIPs outperform traditional insulation materials significantly. For context, glass mineral wool has a thermal conductivity of 44 mW/(mk), EPS is 36 mW/(mk), rock mineral wool is 34 mW/(mk), and PIR is 22 mW/(mk). Sanyou's fiberglass VIP stands at 2.5 mW/(mk), and fumed silica VIP at 4.5 mW/(mk), showcasing their superior efficiency.

Sanyou offers a wide range of sizes, with maximum dimensions up to 2000 mm x 1800 mm for fiberglass VIPs and 1000 mm x 500 mm for fumed silica VIPs. The available thicknesses range from 3 mm to 30 mm for fiberglass VIPs and from 5 mm to 40 mm for fumed silica VIPs.

Absolutely. Sanyou's VIPs are designed to operate effectively in a wide temperature range, from －40℃ to +100℃, making them suitable for various applications from cold storage to high-temperature environments.

The vacuum pressure inside Sanyou's VIPs is maintained at ≤ 1 Pa, which is crucial for their high insulation performance by minimizing heat transfer through air conduction and convection.

Yes, there are manufacture tolerances to ensure precision in production. For lengths between 250 mm to 500 mm, the tolerance is -4 mm to +2 mm, and it adjusts slightly as the dimensions increase, ensuring that the VIPs fit perfectly in their designated applications.

Choosing Sanyou's VIPs means opting for cutting-edge insulation technology that offers unparalleled thermal efficiency, space-saving design due to their thin profile, and versatility in application due to their operational temperature range and size variability. Despite their higher initial cost, their long-term energy savings and reduced carbon footprint make them a sustainable and cost-effective choice.
