The heating temperature is preferably 180 to 240 ° C, and more preferably 210 to 230 ° C. The heating time is preferably 20 to 60 seconds, and more preferably 25 to 40 seconds. The expansion ratio is 3 times or more, preferably 4 to 5 times. If the expansion ratio is too low, it is difficult to impart an excellent appearance design, and if the expansion ratio is too high, the foaming agent-containing resin layer 4 becomes mechanically weak and the scratch resistance is likely to decrease.

Before the second non-foamed layer 5 is formed, the foamed agent-containing resin layer 4 after foaming may be cross-linked by chemical cross-linking or radiation. Thereby, the scratch resistance of the foam wallpaper 9 can be improved.
Further, at least the discoloration prevention functional layer 7 (outermost layer) may be embossed.

Thereby, when the protons contained in the additive are separated, the pH of the aqueous adhesive attached to the surface side of the foam wallpaper 9 can be biased toward the acidic side. Therefore, the starch contained in the aqueous adhesive can be decomposed, and discoloration caused by the starch contained in the aqueous adhesive can be suppressed.

Moreover, since protons have a small ionic radius (atomic radius), protons easily move from the additive (additive-containing resin layer 4) to the surface side of the foam wallpaper 9. Therefore, when a water-based adhesive adheres to the surface side of the foam wallpaper 9, it moves to the water-based adhesive, and the pH of the water-based adhesive can be sufficiently biased to the acidic side. Thereby, the discoloration resulting from starch can be suppressed appropriately.
Incidentally, for example, potassium ions, sodium ions, calcium ions, etc. have a larger ionic radius (atomic radius) than protons, so that they are difficult to move from the additive (additive-containing resin layer 4) to the surface side of the foam wallpaper 9. . Therefore, even when an aqueous adhesive adheres to the surface side of the foam wallpaper 9, it is difficult to move to the aqueous adhesive, and the pH of the aqueous adhesive cannot be sufficiently biased to the acidic side. Thereby, it becomes difficult to appropriately suppress discoloration caused by starch.

(2) Moreover, it was set as the structure which the discoloration prevention functional layer 7 contains 1 mass part or more and 25 mass parts or less of an additive with respect to 100 mass parts of matrix resins. Therefore, it is easy to apply and the effect can be more manifested.
(3) Further, the foaming agent-containing resin layer 4 is configured to be resin-crosslinked by a chemical crosslinking method or radiation irradiation. Therefore, the scratch resistance of the foamed wallpaper 9 can be improved.
(4) Moreover, it was set as the structure which the foaming agent containing resin layer 4 has a non-foaming agent containing resin layer in the single side | surface or both surfaces. Therefore, the surface can be smoothed and the printability can be improved.

(5) Furthermore, the matrix resin of the discoloration prevention functional layer 7 is configured to be a vinyl chloride resin and / or an olefin resin. Therefore, sheet molding suitable for the foam wallpaper 9 can be performed.
(6) The blowing agent is at least one selected from the group consisting of an azo compound, ammonium carbonate, ammonium bicarbonate, and ammonium nitrite. Therefore, safety and foamability controllability can be improved.
(7) Furthermore, the base material 2 was a fibrous sheet. Therefore, it can be handled as a general-purpose wallpaper material 1.

(8) Further, the foamed wallpaper 9 of the present embodiment is formed by foaming the foaming agent-containing resin layer 4 of the raw paper 1. Therefore, since the proton contained in the additive is separated, the pH of the aqueous adhesive attached to the surface side of the wallpaper can be biased to the acidic side, so that the starch contained in the aqueous adhesive can be decomposed, Discoloration due to starch contained in the aqueous adhesive can be suppressed.
(9) Further, the emboss 10 is formed on at least the color change preventing functional layer 7 (outermost layer). Therefore, it is possible to form the foamed wallpaper 9 having high design by the emboss 10.
(10) Moreover, in the manufacturing method of the foam wallpaper 9 of this embodiment, the base material 2, the foaming agent containing resin layer 4 containing a foaming agent, and the additive which is arrange | positioned in the outermost layer and has a proton as a counter cation are contained. The original fabric 1 for wallpaper in which the anti-discoloration functional layer 7 is laminated is formed, and the foaming agent-containing resin layer 4 of the formed original fabric 1 for wallpaper is foamed.
