Unique insulation solutions for complex thermal challenges from -270°C to 1000°C
Applications
With an operating temperature range from -270°C to 1000°C, Insulon® is suitable for a wide variety of demanding thermal insulation applications including aerospace, automotive, batteries and fuel cells, consumer goods, medical, military, and more. Every part features the same cutting-edge thermal insulation technology, expertly customized to fit your application’s needs.
If conventional insulation materials are proving insufficient or ineffective, Insulon® may be able to help.
Shapes and Sizes: Cylindrical, Elliptical, and Custom-Designs
We custom design vacuum insulation to optimize your system both thermally and spatially. With ultra-low insulation thickness, Insulon® is able to consume minimal space while delivering maximum insulation performance. The majority of Insulon® designs are based on cylindrical or elliptical shapes and are built with stainless steel, Inconel, and other alloys. Insulation materials are selected according to the thermal and structural needs of your application.
High-Performance Insulation: Thermal Analyses
Insulation performance depends on reducing heat transfer due thermal conduction, convection, or radiation. All Insulon® parts use our patented high vacuum technology to drastically reduce convective and conductive heat flow; for the most demanding applications, our engineers include our proprietary multilayer insulation to reduce radiation heat transfer. Our insulation components help you concentrate thermal energy where you want it, often resulting in reduced energy demands and consumption.
Our Engineering Process
We engineer ultra-thin, high-performance vacuum insulation to enhance your application’s overall performance. Our goal is to maximize insulation while consuming minimal space. Custom-designed insulation solutions can help bring out the best in your application by improving thermal efficiency, streamlining packaging, and optimizing for longevity in your system.
Our engineers work with you to develop a design that fulfills thermal, geometric, and structural requirements. Once designs are completed, we start building and testing your custom prototypes at our R&D facility. When it’s time for the next step, our manufacturing team puts together semi- or fully-automated cells for rapid, high volume production.
The end result? An enhanced thermal system for more effective and efficient performance. Contact us to find out what Insulon® can do for your application.

High mechanical strength
Durable insulation must be built with high strength materials. Our insulation materials include metals such as stainless steel, Inconel and other alloys, making Insulon® vacuum insulation ideal for challenging physical environments. If you need an insulation component with specific mechanical properties, let us know. High pressure environment? No problem. Dealing with vibration? We can help. Our robust components can be built to withstand a variety of mechanical stresses.
Custom insulation solutions
Custom-designed insulation solutions can help your product stand out against the competition. Our goal is to deliver precise thermal enhancements that improve the overall performance of your product. Our engineers take a holistic approach to design, considering everything from component-level parameters to system-level parameters. Every feature of a Insulon® vacuum insulated part is custom-designed to your specifications — down to the very last millimeter.
Ultra thin insulation
Thin thermal insulation with a high R-value is of paramount importance to space-constrained applications. Our custom-designed vacuum insulation delivers thermal solutions in a compact package. With overall insulation thickness as low as 0.25mm, our parts can be used to insulate needles. Our low profile design can help your product save space, maintain a sleek profile, and reduce overall packaging requirements — without sacrificing thermal performance.
High-temperature insulation
Vacuum insulation has traditionally been used exclusively for cryogenic applications. Our proprietary Insulon® Technology creates ultra-thin, high-temperature vacuum insulation for applications up to 1000°C. For the most demanding applications, reducing radiation heat transfer is key. Our most advanced Insulon® parts may also include our proprietary multilayer insulation for even greater high-temperature thermal insulation performance.
