Technical Brief
In modern industrial insulation design, the search for the absolute minimum thermal transmittance (U-value) has shifted the engineering paradigm away from volumetric bulk insulators such as mineral wool, EPS, or polyurethane foam. The core breakthrough lies in Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs) and Prefabricated Vacuum Insulation Wall Panels, which systematically eliminate gas-phase heat transfer—the primary contributor to thermal conduction within insulation matrices.
By enclosing a porous core material—typically either fumed silica or ultra-fine fiberglass—within a high-barrier envelope and extracting the air to establish a high vacuum state ($< 1\text{ mbar}$), the thermal conductivity ($\lambda$) can be depressed to an astonishing range of $0.0015\text{ W}/(\text{m}\cdot\text{K})$ to $0.004\text{ W}/(\text{m}\cdot\text{K})$. Compared to traditional polyurethane boards ($\lambda \approx 0.022\text{ W}/(\text{m}\cdot\text{K})$), VIP structures deliver equivalent insulation value at a mere fraction of the spatial envelope thickness, recovering up to 80% of net usable space in high-density building architectures and refrigeration units.
Within B2B sourcing pipelines, identifying the core material is critical to assessing lifetime thermal degradation. Fumed silica, characterized by three-dimensional nanostructured aggregates, features a primary particle size of 7 to 40 nanometers. This unique morphology creates an internal pore size smaller than the mean free path of air molecules at atmospheric pressure (approx. $70\text{ nm}$). Consequently, fumed silica VIPs possess exceptional resistance to vacuum decay, retaining peak thermal efficiency for up to 30 to 50 years. Conversely, fiberglass core VIPs, while offering a lower initial thermal conductivity, require much higher vacuum levels and decay significantly faster under environmental humidity and gas permeation.
Manufacturing Capability
Procuring industrial-scale VIPs and pre-fabricated integrated insulation wall systems demands both massive manufacturing volume and rigorous quality control. Zerothermo Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of the renowned CBVAC Group, addresses this bottleneck by operating one of the largest comprehensive production centers for vacuum technology application products in Nanchong City, Sichuan Province. Headquartered in the Beijing Economic-Technological Development Area, Zerothermo bridges high-tier engineering design with industrial-scale fabrication.
As a national high-tech enterprise, the factory integrates every phase of production: raw materials synthesis, core matrix compression, multi-layer high-barrier envelope laminating, vacuum extraction, and 100% QA/QC thermal testing. Supported by CBVAC's legacy of vacuum engineering excellence, Zerothermo ensures that large-scale B2B orders maintain stable internal vacuum thresholds, preventing the edge delamination and thermal bridging common in lower-tier facilities. This capability enables global buyers to secure highly competitive quotes, benefit from stable raw-materials supply chains, and meet international lead-time commitments.

Our Advantage
Global Standards
For international procurement directors, importing structural prefabricated insulation panels requires navigating localized regulatory frameworks. Vacuum Insulation Panels are subject to strict building codes and international standards. Zerothermo products comply with major global assessment criteria, ensuring streamlined building certifications and risk-mitigated integration.
To prevent localized installation failure, Zerothermo offers extensive pre-engineering design layouts. Because VIP core membranes cannot be drilled, cut, or field-trimmed post-evacuation without completely losing their vacuum state, we provide custom geometric panel shapes, corner cut-outs, and edge-wrapping systems. Our structural drawings prevent site-delays and ensure a continuous thermal barrier.
Sector Applications
Empowering precise climate control packaging systems, cold boxes, and logistic carriers for global biomedical logistics.
Ultra-thin exterior wall systems, integrated insulation-decoration curtain facades, and passive-house installations.
Furnace insulation, elevator fire barriers, NEV battery packs, and thermal energy recovery systems.
Integrated eco-modular pods, mobile capsule units, and modular acoustic-thermal wall sections.
Track Record
Market Trends
As global governments enforce stricter carbon-neutral targets, industrial thermal management faces structural changes. Building envelopes account for approximately 35% of total operational energy consumption in modern cities. Reducing heat loss through high-efficiency walls is key to meeting sustainable development goals. Prefabricated vacuum insulated panels provide a practical solution for space-constrained urban environments, offering maximum insulation thickness control without sacrificing valuable internal layout area.
Over the next decade, the industry is projected to shift toward smart, functional hybrid wall panel modules. By combining vacuum core panels with exterior architectural panels (such as ceramics, natural stone, or fluorocarbon-coated steel plates), manufacturers are delivering complete unitized curtain wall systems. These integrated panels resolve the historical challenges of mechanical fastening and structural integration, allowing developers to meet both aesthetic and energy targets through single-source procurement.
Technical FAQ
Under normal building envelope conditions, fumed silica VIPs are designed to maintain their vacuum state and high thermal performance for 30 to 50 years. This longevity is driven by the nanostructured fumed silica core, which resists vacuum decay far better than fiberglass equivalents.
No, VIPs cannot be cut, drilled, or modified during installation. Puncturing the outer high-barrier foil envelope releases the internal vacuum, causing the thermal conductivity to revert to atmospheric values (from $0.002\text{ W}/(\text{m}\cdot\text{K})$ to $0.020\text{ W}/(\text{m}\cdot\text{K})$). All sizes and shapes must be pre-planned and custom-fabricated at the factory.
Thermal bridging at panel joints is mitigated using offset dual-layer installations or specialized polymeric-edge profiles. These structural techniques create a continuous thermal barrier and prevent heat pathways at connection joints.
Our fumed silica core material is non-combustible. When integrated into composite prefabricated exterior wall assemblies, they achieve Class A fire ratings, satisfying global high-rise building safety regulations.
