Product catalog summary
Product Description
va-Q-plus is a second-generation vacuum insulation panel made from microporous fumed silica. It is designed for use in appliances like refrigerators and freezers, offering excellent insulation throughout its service life. The product supports energy efficiency as per manufacturer energy labeling standards.

Features
  • Superior insulation value over the product's lifetime.
  • Cost-effective with high flexibility and ductility.
  • Long lifespan due to optimized panel designs.
  • 100% quality control using patented gas pressure measurement (va-Q-check).
  • Recyclable and non-flammable core material.
  • Optimized adhesion with polyurethane.

Properties
  • Thermal conductivity at 10°C: < 0.0035 W/(m∙K) at delivery.
  • Internal gas pressure at 20°C: < 7 mbar.
  • Density: 160 – 230 kg/m³.
  • Temperature resistance: -75 to 70°C, temporarily up to 130°C.
  • Moisture resistance: 0 – 70% relative humidity up to 50°C.
  • Compressive strength at 10% compression: approximately 120 kPa.
  • Lifetime: Up to 60 years depending on usage.

Testing Standards
  • Long-term performance tests up to 160°C.
  • Accelerated aging tests at 50°C, 70% relative humidity, and 80°C (dry).
  • Thermal conductivity measurements following DIN EN 12667.
  • Thermal shock resistance following DIN EN 60068-2-14.

Measures and Tolerances
The document provides detailed measurements and tolerances for panel dimensions, highlighting that panels are thinner at edges and corners. A typical panel measures between 8 mm and 30 mm in thickness.

va-Q-plus (Appliances & Food)-1

Technical data sheet va-Q-plus (Appliances & Food) Product Description va-Q-plus, the second generation of vacuum insulation panels, is a microporous insulation material based on fumed silica. The high-tech panel is produced at most recent and in-house developed production lines. The powdered core material and the specifically engineered foil technology ensure the outstanding insulation ability for the entire service life of the product. The typical fields of application are refrigerators and freezers with high lifetime. The maximum energy consumption prescribed by the energy labelling of the manufacturers is supported by the usage of the va-Q-plus for the entire operating life of the products. Best insulation value over the entire lifetime for insulation panels based on fumed silica Very good cost-performance ratio Extremely high flexibility and ductility Long lifetime because of optimized panel designs 100 % quality control with the patented gas pressure measurement system (va-Q-check) Sustainable product (recyclable core material) Non-flammable core material after DIN EN 13501-1 A1 Optimized adhesion during lathering with polyurethane

Measures and tolerances width w in [mm] thickness t in [mm] Remark: Based on the unique production method, the panels are less thick at the edges and corners than in the center. The measures, tolerances and insulation values refer to the insulated area of the panel form one corner to another. Circulating the panel there is a 10 mm to 20 mm wide sealing seam. A typical panel measures 8 mm up to 30 mm. The smaller the panel the slighter is the maximal thickness of the panel due to production limits. Please ask for your wished dimensions.
