A cold storage panel (10), which includes a carbon foam core (12) having a high ratio of compressive strength to density, desirable fire retardant properties, and resistance to environmental stress. The carbon foam insulated panel (10) also includes a first layer (14) and a second layer (16) bound to a first surface and second surface of the carbon foam core (12). Applications of the carbon foam structural insulated panel include structural and fire retardant elements of residential and commercial refrigerators and freezers, food lockers, coolers, and the like. |
