Concept Group custom engineers and manufactures vacuum insulated components for a wide range of applications including medical and surgical tools, semiconductor manufacturing, chemical processing, laboratory equipment, and more. Custom engineered, high performance Insulon Technology delivers unique results to enhance your application’s overall thermal performance. Our engineers work with you to develop a holistic understanding of your application, helping to improve system performance by minimizing heat loss and optimizing thermal efficiency.
Product Development and Manufacturing
The development for custom Insulon products goes through Concept Group’s proven Core Process, resulting in reliable, repeatable manufacturing that produces millions of parts per year. Concept Group LLC is the sole and exclusive developer and manufacturer of Insulon® technology. All Insulon® vacuum jacketed products are engineered and manufactured in-house at our Palm Beach Gardens, FL, United States facility.
Form Factors
Insulon is primarily available in cylindrical geometries, although other configurations are possible. Products can be rigid, bent, or flexible. Additional features such as feedthroughs and removable lids can also be integrated.
Option to include multi-layer insulation (MLI)
Multi-layer insulation (MLI) is a specialized thermal insulation technology that reduces radiation heat transfer. Insulon vacuum insulation can be designed with or without MLI. Concept Group uses a proprietary, high-density form of MLI that can operate in both low and high temperature applications.

Specifications for custom Insulon® products
Materials
Insulon vacuum insulation is built with corrosion-resistant metals including stainless steel 304, 316; Inconel; Hastelloy; and other alloys. Compatible with cleanroom, medical-grade, and food-grade requirements.
Applications
Fluid transfer lines, storage containers, equipment parts, device components, and more. Insulon vacuum insulation helps systems improve thermal performance, throughput, quality, and safety.
Dimensions
Diameters range from hypodermic needle gauge sizing up to approximately 1 foot. Lengths for rigid parts go up to approximately 4 feet. Lengths for flexible parts go up to approximately 65 feet. Overall wall thickness as low as 0.25 mm, depending on geometry.
Temperatures
Custom Insulon products are engineered for application temperatures from near absolute zero up to 815 degrees Celsius, or even higher, depending on the application.
