Abstract
A thermal insulating body, or molding, for thermal insulation, consisting of a shell which can be evacuated and which is filled with a solid, microporous thermal insulating material, is characterized by the fact that at least the end surfaces (3) of the shell (1) consist of material which is a poor thermal conductor, that the microporous thermal insulation material consists of compression-proof and baked fibrillar micro glass fibers, and that the fibrillar micro glass fibers are compacted and pressed into three-dimensional panels (4).

Thermal insulating body for providing thermal insulation, said thermal insulating body comprising:
- a shell portion having an interior portion therewithin;
- said interior portion of said shell portion being evacuated;
- a panel portion being disposed within the interior portion of the shell portion, said panel portion having a plurality of sides;
- at least one end surface portion being disposed at at least one side of said panel portion;
- said at least one end surface portion being integrally connected with said shell portion and comprising a material being a poor thermal conductor;
- said panel portion comprising compacted micro glass fibers wherein most of the fibers have one of the following diameters:
