A highly reliable vacuum heat insulating material having excellent processability, handleability and heat insulating performance, and a heat insulating box using the vacuum heat insulating material are provided. In the vacuum heat insulating material with the inside in an approximately vacuum state by sealing a core materialhaving a structure wherein plural pieces of fiber assemblyare laminated by a gas-barrier outer cover material, by using long fiber for the core material, fiber dust or remaining fiber by cutting is prevented from protruding into a sealing portion of the outer cover material from a cut surface of a sheet or an opening portion, and sealing failure is reduced. Further, since the core material is structured so as to be wound continuously from an inner side toward an outer side, the vacuum heat insulating material is easily manufactured, and excellent in handleability.

A highly reliable vacuum heat insulating material having excellent processability, usability and heat insulating performance and a heat insulating box using the vacuum heat insulating material are provided. A vacuum heat insulating material related to the present invention includes: a core material structured by a laminated structure of an organic fiber assembly formed by forming an organic fiber into a sheet shape and cutting an end face with a predetermined length, and having a core material opening portion formed by a through hole or a notch with cutting; a gas-barrier outer cover material containing the core material inside, having a sealing portion for sealing surrounding of the sheet-shaped organic fiber assembly and surrounding of the core material opening portion, and hermetically sealing an inside with almost vacuum status by sealing the sealing portion; and an outer cover material opening portion provided at the outer cover material under a status in which the sealing portion provided at the surrounding of the sheet-shaped organic fiber assembly and the surrounding of the core material opening portion is sealed, being a through hole or a notch which is smaller than the core material opening portion with a sealed amount, and a long fiber being equal to or longer than a length of the sheet is used for the organic fiber.

There are provided a vacuum thermal insulating material that is excellent in terms of a handling property, a thermal insulating property, creep resistance, and productivity; and a thermal insulating box including the vacuum thermal insulating material. A core material was enclosed and sealed in a wrapping material with a gas barrier property. The core material of the vacuum thermal insulating material in which the interior of the wrapping material is in a decompression state, is constituted by one organic fibrous assembly having continuous organic fibers formed sheet-shaped or a stack of the organic fibrous assemblies.
