Description

The present invention relates to novel curable compositions. The curable composition of the present invention can form a foam having low thermal conductivity and excellent heat resistance.

Generally, in a building or the like, by providing foam on base materials such as wall surfaces, ceiling surfaces, floor surfaces, etc., heat transfer between indoors and outdoors is suppressed. Such foam is a material with low thermal conductivity, and typical examples thereof include organic foams such as urethane foam, phenol foam, and styrene foam. Among these, urethane foam is frequently used because it has excellent low thermal conductivity of about 0.025 W/(mK) and can be constructed at a relatively low cost. It is However, since organic foams such as urethane foams are mainly composed of organic substances, it tends to be difficult to obtain high performance in resistance to flames and high heat, that is, heat resistance.
