Product catalog summary
General Overview
This document is a General Technical Approval issued by the Deutsches Institut für Bautechnik (DIBt) for vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) manufactured by Porextherm Dämmstoffe GmbH. The approval is valid from 01 July 2010 until 30 June 2015 and covers various types of VIPs including "Vacupor NT-B2", "Vacuspeed", and others.

Approved Item and Specifications
The approval applies to the manufacture and use of VIPs with specific designations. These panels consist of a core made of microperforate fumed silica, sealed under vacuum in a triple-metallised barrier foil. Variants include additional linings such as polystyrene foam or rubber granulate matting.

Area of Application
The VIPs are suitable for various applications as per DIN 4108-10, including thermal insulation in buildings. Specific types like "Vacupor PS-B2" have additional application areas.

Technical Specifications
  • Thermal Conductivity: Initial values should not exceed 0.0053 W/(m*K) for "Vacupor NT-B2" and 0.0044 W/(m*K) for "Vacupor NT-B2-S".
  • Compressive Strain: Minimum value at 10% compression is 180 kPa.
  • Dimensional Stability: Changes in dimensions under specified conditions should not exceed 1%, except for "Vacupor TS-B2" which may have up to 3% change in thickness.
  • Fire Characteristics: The panels are classified as normally flammable (DIN 4102-B2).
  • Internal Pressure: Should not exceed 5 mbar upon delivery.


Design and Dimensioning Provisions
  • Thermal Conductivity Design Values: 0.0080 W/(m*K) for standard VIPs and 0.0070 W/(m*K) for "-S" variants.
  • Minimum Thermal Insulation: Must meet DIN 4108-2 requirements even if vacuum fails.
  • Nominal Thickness: Used for calculating thermal resistance.


This document provides comprehensive guidelines and specifications for the use and performance of VIPs in building applications, ensuring compliance with German and European standards.
