The Science Behind Stainless Steel Insulated CupsThe Science Behind Stainless Steel Insulated Cups

The best insulated drinkware keeps your drinks hot or cold for hours. It's also eco-friendly and lasts a lifetime!

Unlike plastic containers that leach chemicals into your drinks, stainless steel is BPA-Free. Plus, it's easy to clean and doesn't impart a metallic taste!

Vacuum Wall Insulation

Vacuum wall insulation is a great option if you want insulated drinkware such as Coffee Travel Mug that keeps your beverage warm or cold longer than other types. This technology uses a man-made vacuum to separate two panels of materials (such as glass or stainless steel) so that the temperature of fluids or gases on one side does not affect those on the other.

Vacuum insulation also prevents heat transfer from thermal conduction (only occurs in matter, there is no air or other fluids in a vacuum) and convection (only happens in fluids like air, there is no free electrons to carry energy). Metal vacuum insulated drinkware also has a silvery or copper surface so it prevents radiation, which further reduces the amount of heat transferred.

Vacuum insulation was first developed in the 19th Century. Since then, it has been integrated into many modern appliances and buildings. Examples include thermos flasks for science labs and Dewar flasks which are similar to insulated tumblers, but made of glass rather than stainless steel. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Building Envelope & Urban Systems Research Group are working to develop self-healing vacuum insulation panels.

Double Wall Design

There are three main ways heat can be transferred when it comes to keeping hot and cold drinks at the right temperature. These are conduction, radiation, and condensation.

A double wall design technology uses a vacuum layer to prevent heat from being conducted through the cup with Insulated Travel Mug. This is a major advantage to these drinkware items as it keeps your beverage at the optimal temperature for hours!

The heat transfer is eliminated by the vacuum layer between the stainless-steel walls. As a result, this means that hot and cold beverages are kept at their best temperature for hours, regardless of the climate outside.

The stainless steel material is resistant to rust, bacteria, and oxidation. It also features an electropolished interior, which eliminates metallic taste and gives you a fresh, pure flavor. It is also splash and leak proof, reducing the risk of spills. It's a great alternative to single use plastic cups and bottles that choke our landfills.

Material made of stainless steel

Stainless steel is a non-porous and non-toxic material that is also non-porous and antibacterial. It is also rust-proof and easily cleanable in the dishwasher or by hand-washing.

Unlike plastic drinkware, which has been known to absorb chemicals from other drinks and contaminate them with harmful elements such as BPA (bisphenol A), stainless steel is free of these toxic substances. Stainless steel is also a great choice for anyone who wants to cut back on their disposable plastic bottle use.

Stainless steel is also well-known for its excellent temperature maintenance capabilities, which allow it to keep hot and cold beverages at the right temperature for longer periods of times. Moreover, stainless steel is a recyclable material, which means that it can be used over and over again. Lastly, it is very durable and indestructible.
