HIGHLY REACTIVE MATERIALS FOR USE AS DESICCANTS AND GETTERS IN AN ENCLOSED ENVIRONMENT AND METHODS FOR USING SAME

摘要

Thermal insulation panels and methods for making same are described. A vacuum insulation panel may include at least one layer configured to form a central core under vacuum pressure. One or more reactive materials may be arranged within the vacuum insulation panel, such as within the core or the at least one layer. The one or more reactive materials may be configured to absorb and/or react with moisture or gas within the vacuum insulation panel to maintain a vacuum pressure therein. In some embodiments, the reactive materials may be arranged within a protective material configured to prevent exposure of the one or more reactive materials. The protective material may be configured to be transformed (for example, crack, crumble, break apart, or the like) responsive to certain events and/or conditions to expose the one or more reactive materials within the thermal insulation panel.
