Insulation
WHAT IS THERMOLINER INSULATION ?
The THERMOLINER INSULATION™ system available exclusively from Prisco Vans provides an industry leading R8 per inch of insulation value. The benefit of this high insulation value means colder and more stable temperatures, less fuel consumed to maintain temperatures and in turn lower operating costs. This reduced reefer unit “on time” also translates to reduced wear and maintenance costs, which are an important factor to consider. Our insulation system is comprised of closed cell polyurethane foam bonded to a galvanized metal. Special locks are utilized to lock panels together. Foodgrade sealants are then used to seal the panels together making the system waterproof. Our CAD design insulation system is custom fitted to any vehicle and bonded in such a manner that no fasteners are exposed
WHAT IS R VALUE?
R Value is a measurement of the thermal resistance, measured under zero air flow. The more effective the insulation, the less likely it is to allow cold to bleed through material and escape. R Value measures the ability for a material to resist temperature to transfer. The better the ability to resist temperature transfer, the higher the R Value. A high R Value is vital to reduce reefer “on time” (reducing the time it takes to refrigerate a closed space).
WHY IS INSULATION SO IMPORTANT?
It is very important that insulation perform well to stabilize temperatures. Poorly refrigerated food & unsafe food handling practices put the public at risk. Food shipments that are turned away if temperatures are not kept cold enough cost businesses money. These are two reasons why quality insulation is so important. Insulation systems are designed to control temperature and reduce spikes which could spoil food. Food quality is preserved once temperatures are kept at a stable temperature.

WHAT MAKES THERMOLINER INSULATION™ SPECIAL?
- PRECISION ENGINEERING has specifically designed THERMOLINER INSULATION™ for use in food refrigeration systems. Generic pink foam insulation, spray foam insulation, wood screws, wood framing & “kemlite” are old technology and never utilized. Our modular panels are designed for maximum thermal efficiency, and minimal weight. As well, mould and fungus are not an issue with THERMOLINER INSULATION™ because our systems are water tight and feature drainage systems for quick & easy clean out.
- WEIGHT is always a factor in transporting goods. THERMOLINER INSULATION™ is the lightest system on the market today, allowing vehicles to retain the highest payload capabilities. This advantage also translates to reduced fuel consumption to operate the vehicle. This weight advantage translates to reduced cost & increased profits.
- QUALITY workmanship, materials & attention to detail ensure your system is built to last! We use only food grade sealants and epoxies with corrosion resistant metals. These are materials are expensive but necessary to comply with HACCP regulations. We make sure our insulation system provides you with the highest performance and the greatest value.
HOW CAN I BE SURE THIS PRODUCT WILL LAST?
DURABILITY is the heart of the technology behind THERMOLINER INSULATION™. Born in Europe, this system has quickly become the standard insulation panel used in vehicles for over 10 years. Europeans have trusted this insulation system to ensure compliance with stringent HACCP Europe standards. Prisco Vans brings this new technology to the North American market and backs the technology with a 2 year warranty!
IS THERMOLINER INSULATION MORE EXPENSIVE?
Cost is always a factor in operating any successful business and managing costs over the life of any vehicle will ensure maximum profit and growth of your business. The ThermoLiner Insulation™ system is engineered to provide a longer service life and lower cost of operation over the long term, with no major cost difference at the outset. Our customers quickly realize the substantial fuel savings and reduced maintenance & repair costs to refrigeration units that balance out the any cost difference. It just makes sense! As well, ThermoLiner durability combined with Prisco Vans quality ensures a higher than normal resale value at time of vehicle sale.
