At least one puck is used to manufacture a vacuum insulated panel with a shaped opening. A pair of barrier films are positioned about an insulated core having a shaped opening such as a through bore, cutout, or relief. The puck includes a protrusion having a shape similar to that of the opening of the insulated core. With the barrier films positioned about the insulated core, the pucks are inserted into the opening from opposite sides of the insulated core to thereby compress the barrier films between the shaped protrusions of the pucks to thereby prevent wrinkles and/or creases in the barrier films. The insulated core is then subjected to a vacuum to evacuate the insulated core of any gases and the barrier films are heat sealed to maintain the insulated core in the evacuated state. Excess barrier film is then removed to provide a wrinkle and/or crease free seal.

Provided herein are products, methods, and kits, for use in regulating the temperature of an object. The present invention relates to thermal insulating liners for regulating the temperature of perishable goods or temperature sensitive products. The thermal insulating liners generally may be dimensioned to fit within a container. The thermal insulating liners may be quickly collapsed and reconstructed to improve stackability and diminish the amount of space required to store the thermal insulating liners prior to use.

Method for testing and for an inspection of a functionality of an insulation work on industrial installations, especially a proper installation of an insulation surrounding a pipe, especially for transport of cooled media, whereby the insulation comprises at least one insulation element, preferably of an open porous material, especially made of bound mineral fibres, and a vapor barrier surrounding the insulation in an airtight manner at all ambient faces, whereby a pump is connected to a valve being connected to the insulation element, whereby the valve connects the inner part of the insulation with the surrounding area, whereby the inner air pressure of the insulation is increased or decreased by the pump to a predetermined pressure, preferably by up to 50 kPa above or underneath a surrounding atmospheric pressure, whereby the predetermined pressure is displayed on a gauge and whereby the stability of the predetermined pressure is tested and/or inspected during a predetermined time interval.

A method for treating wood packaging materials using Radio Frequency heating includes the steps of heating wood packaging materials using RF heating and applying a pressure before the heating or incrementally applying a pressure during the heating. The wood packaging materials are heated in a RF operating unit that has a sealed chamber with an inner surface and a liner cover a majority of the inner surface, the liner having a heat-reflective inner face and an insulation layer between the inner face and the inner surface.

A method of reducing the formaldehyde emission of a mineral fiber product bonded with a urea-modified phenol-formaldehyde resol resin-type binder comprises adding dextrose to the binder composition during and/or after preparation of the binder composition but before curing of the binder composition applied to the mineral fibers.
