Revolutionary Slimtech™ Insulation Refrigeration Technology | Whirlpool Corporation

Whirlpool Corporation's landmark refrigeration innovation will deliver benefits ranging from increased capacity and quieter performance to the potential for increased sustainability and design flexibility. SlimTech™ insulation is the first vacuum insulated structure (VIS) technology brought to the North American market by a major appliance manufacturer.
This technology represents a significant step forward in refrigeration technology, which has long relied on polyurethane foam for insulation. By using a proprietary powder-like material that is vacuum-sealed within the door or sides of the refrigerator itself, SlimTech™ insulation can reduce the wall thickness by up to 66% - allowing for up to 25% more capacity inside the refrigerator.
The material used in SlimTech™ insulation technology also has the potential to be recycled. SlimTech™ insulation will launch on select JennAir® 30 in. Column refrigerators and will later expand to the KitchenAid brand.
