  • Patent number: 9103482
    Abstract: A highly reliable vacuum heat insulating material having excellent processability, handleability and heat insulating performance, and a heat insulating box using the vacuum heat insulating material are provided. In the vacuum heat insulating material with the inside in an approximately vacuum state by sealing a core material 5 having a structure wherein plural pieces of fiber assembly 1 are laminated by a gas-barrier outer cover material 4, by using long fiber for the core material, fiber dust or remaining fiber by cutting is prevented from protruding into a sealing portion of the outer cover material from a cut surface of a sheet or an opening portion, and sealing failure is reduced. Further, since the core material is structured so as to be wound continuously from an inner side toward an outer side, the vacuum heat insulating material is easily manufactured, and excellent in handleability.

  • Publication number: 20110073604
    Abstract: A vacuum thermal insulator includes a container having a gas barrier property and a core member placed in the container, the container being sealed such that the interior of the container is in a reduced pressure state. The core member is constituted by a sheet assembly in which organic fiber aggregates, each obtained by forming fibers composed of an organic material into a sheet-like shape, and fiber aggregates, each obtained by forming fibers composed of a material having a higher tensile modulus than the material for the organic fiber aggregates into a sheet-like shape, are randomly stacked. The fibers of the organic fiber aggregates are preferably continuous fibers. The fiber material for the organic fiber aggregates or the fiber aggregates is preferably any one of polyester, polypropylene, polystyrene, polylactic acid, aramid, LCP, and glass.
