    Abstract: This invention relates to an expanded heat-insulating material containing a reduced amount of a fluorocarbon blowing agent for use in a freezer, refrigerator or the like. It is produced by stirring a mixture of a carbon dioxide adsorbent having a hydrophobic surface, a premix component containing water, and an isocyanate component. According to the expanded heat-insulating material thus produced, the amount of the fluorocarbon blowing agent to be used can be reduced since water is used as the blowing agent, while carbon dioxide generated by the reaction of the isocyanate with the water can be removed after foaming by adsorption with the carbon dioxide adsorbent, and the gas present in the bubbles becomes enriched with the fluorocarbon gas.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a thermal insulating foamed material with excellent thermal insulating properties and a method of manufacturing the same. The method comprises the steps of: concurrently mixing and blowing a polyurethane material to produce a foamed polyurethane resin composition with a multiplicity of closed cells, the polyurethane material including a reactive blowing agent, a volatile compound having a boiling point of not higher than 150 DEG C and a molecular weight of not less than 70, an epoxy compound, and a carbon dioxide fixation catalyst, wherein the closed cells are filled with the volatile compound and carbon dioxide produced by a reaction of the reactive blowing agent with a polyisocyanate; and allowing the carbon dioxide to chemically react with epoxy groups of the epoxy compound in the presence of the carbon dioxide fixation catalyst to form a solid or liquid cyclic carbonate. The method gives a foamed material with the closed cells substantially filled with vapor of the volatile compound at a partial pressure of at least 5 mmHg at 25 DEG C.
