Abstract: The invention relates to a vacuum insulation panel, having a core (1) of open-pore material and having a casing (2), which encloses the core (1) tightly, completely and in a gas-tight manner on all sides, wherein the casing (2) has at least one gas-tight barrier layer (3). Said vacuum insulation panel is characterized in that the casing (2) has a protective layer (6) of a heat-resistant material in at least one region of the outer surface of the vacuum insulation panel on the outside of the barrier layer (3) or on an intermediate layer (4) located on the outside of the barrier layer (3).
