Low Temperature Insulations: Thin, Powerful, and Lasting

The Ultimate Insulation for Demanding Cold Applications

TT core is a high-performance microporous insulation panel specifically engineered for use in Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs). Its exceptional thermal efficiency and space-saving capability are driven by an ultra-low thermal conductivity. The optimized microporous structure, enhanced with opacifiers, suppresses all three modes of heat transfer — conduction, convection, and radiation — pushing thermal performance close to their physical limits under atmospheric pressure.

In precision-controlled environments, cold chain logistics, and commercial refrigeration, space is revenue and energy is cost. Traditional insulation often requires impractical thickness to meet modern performance standards, compromising valuable capacity and operational efficiency.

This is the core challenge that TT core solves. By harnessing the exceptional properties of microporous silica, our technology enables VIPs to deliver radically superior thermal resistance in a fraction of the space. This means you can design thinner cabinet walls for greater storage volume, achieve longer, more stable storage cycles with less energy, and build systems engineered for reliable performance measured in decades, not years.

Our advanced materials are not just components; they are the foundation for building smarter, more sustainable, and more profitable cold environments.

• Longest Service Life: Our microporous silica core delivers exceptional durability, enabling VIPs to maintain peak performance for 50 years or more—the longest lifespan among core materials.
• Exceptional Thermal Performance: With a core conductivity of ~0.02 W/(m•K) and a resulting VIP conductivity as low as 0.004 W/(m•K), it achieves superior insulation in a much thinner profile, saving critical space.
• Excellent Long-Term Stability: Performance remains highly stable under varying temperatures and pressures, effectively extending VIP service life.
• High-Temperature Resilience: Withstands significantly higher temperatures than organic-based cores, making it suitable for broader applications.
• Controlled Performance Retention: Even in the rare event of vacuum loss, the nanoporous structure ensures thermal conductivity rises only minimally (e.g., to ~0.020 W/(m•K)), preserving substantial insulation value and system safety.
• Superior Workability: The rigid, uniform structure allows for clean, precise cutting, enabling custom shapes with neat edges for seamless, low-thermal-bridge installation.
• Fire Safety: Inorganic and non-combustible, contributing to safer building and appliance designs.
• Structural Integrity: Maintains shape under moderate compression, preventing collapse and thermal bridging.
• Health & Environmental Safety: Non-hazardous, REACH-compliant, low in disposal cost, and safe for handling throughout its lifecycle.

WHY VIPs WITH FUMED SILICA CORES OFFER THE BEST LIFETIME PERFORMANCE?

While the high-barrier envelope preserves the vacuum, the core material fundamentally determines VIP performance and longevity. As internal pressure gradually increases over time, the degradation rate depends entirely on the core.

Our microporous silica cores are specifically engineered for optimal long-term stability under these conditions (see performance chart). This intrinsic stability, paired with a high-barrier foil (typically limiting pressure rise to <0.5 mbar/year*), ensures the most reliable and durable insulation solution available.

Rate varies with ambient temperature.

As a core material specialist, we also supply complete VIPs featuring our microporous silica core. Each panel is encapsulated in an ultra-high-barrier film and vacuum-sealed, delivering exceptional and consistent thermal performance.

These panels offer key advantages: optimized space and thickness, extended storage cycles, and proven long-term durability. They are self-supporting, pressure-resistant, and easy to install. Through specialized processing and innovative formulations, our VIPs achieve an outstanding and stable thermal resistance (R-value).
