When it comes to thermal insulation, the gold standard is vacuum insulation panel (VIP) technology - typically delivering 10x the thermal performance of conventional foams. As an early pioneer in the development of commercially viable versions of this technology, Glacier Bay has been delivering VIPs to science and industry longer than anyone else in the business. We have provided VIP-based thermal solutions for automobiles, refrigerators, medical equipment, aircraft, skyscrapers, yachts, space stations, Mars missions, oceanic Lidar instrumentation, Arctic power systems, fuel cells and hundreds of other demanding applications. Today, our insulation products can be found in the far reaches of outer space and at every corner of the globe.

As a provider of comprehensive power systems, we recognize that no discussion about energy efficiency is complete without also considering heat flow. In internal combustion engines 70% or more of the fuel they consume ends up as waste heat. The efficiency of solar cells may decrease by 30% or more as they heat up. The reformers on fuel cells stop working entirely if they lose too much heat to the surrounding environment. Whether your need is to keep the heat in, keep it out, or somewhere in between, our thermal insulation solutions are likely to be your best bet.

Marketed under the trade name “Ultra-R”, our thermal insulation provides:
