AI Technical Summary
Resin foams used as heat-insulating materials experience a decrease in thermal insulation performance over time due to gas replacement by air, and existing solutions like plastic films and metal foils do not adequately address this issue.
A resin foam with independent bubbles and a barrier-coated paper comprising a paper substrate and a gas barrier coating layer containing a polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, with specific tensile strength and basis weight, is used to prevent gas replacement, enhancing thermal insulation and handling properties.
The barrier-coated paper maintains thermal insulation performance over time by preventing gas replacement and provides easy handling during installation, with covalent bonds between the paper and resin foam reducing gap formation.
