Abstract
A thermal insulation panel includes an encasement and an insulative fiber core. The encasement includes a first encasement layer forming a first major surface of the panel and a second encasement layer forming a second major surface of the panel. The insulative fiber core is positioned between the first encasement layer and the second encasement layer.
Claims22
A thermal insulation panel comprising:
- an encasement comprising a first encasement layer forming a first major surface of the panel and a second encasement layer forming a second major surface of the panel;
- and
- an insulative fiber core positioned between the first encasement layer and the second encasement layer.

-44. (canceled)
The thermal insulation panel of claim 43 wherein the plurality of interconnected thermal insulation panels comprises a plurality of interconnected walls formed from interconnected thermal insulation panels.
The thermal insulation panel of claim 43 wherein the plurality of interconnected thermal insulation panels form a standalone enclosure around a temperature sensitive product without being placed within a separate shipping container.
An insulated shipping container comprising:
- a plurality of walls enclosing an inner compartment;
- and
- at least one thermal insulation panel in the inner compartment, the thermal insulation panel comprising:
- an encasement comprising a first encasement layer forming a first major surface of the panel and a second encasement layer forming a second major surface of the panel;
- and
- an insulative fiber core positioned between the first encasement layer and the second encasement layer.
A method for shipping a temperature sensitive product, the method comprising:
- positioning at least one thermal insulation panel between at least one temperature sensitive product and a plurality of walls of a shipping container, the thermal insulation panel comprising:
- an encasement comprising a first encasement layer forming a first major surface of the panel and a second encasement layer forming a second major surface of the panel;
- and
- an insulative fiber core positioned between the first encasement layer and the second encasement layer;
- and
- enclosing the thermal insulation panel and the temperature sensitive product within an inner compartment of the shipping container.
