Abstract: A gas-barrier material in which carboxyl groups are ionically crosslinked in an amount corresponding to an acid value of at least 330 mgKOH/g of a resin that has the carboxyl groups in an amount corresponding to an acid value of not smaller than 580 mgKOH/g. The gas-barrier material exhibits excellent gas-barrier property, retort resistance and flexibility under highly humid conditions, enables the film to be cured at a low temperature in a short period of time, and can be favorably produced.

Abstract: A gas-barrier material comprising a polycarboxylic acid polymer (A) and a compound (B) having two ring structures (b) each of which forming an ether bond to carbon that forms a double bond with nitrogen and containing oxygen in the ether bond, wherein a crosslinked structure is formed by the reaction of a carboxyl group in the polycarboxylic acid polymer (A) with one of the ring structures (b) of the compound (B). The gas-barrier material features excellent gas-barrier property, retort resistance and flexibility, can be cured at a low temperature within short periods of time, and can be excellently produced.
