Abstract

The present invention relates to a sound-proof material containing a first sound-absorbing material disposed facing a sound source, a first soft sound-insulating layer laminated on a face of the first sound-absorbing material opposite to the sound source and having an air permeability measured in accordance with JIS L1018 of 10 cc/cm 2 ·sec or lower, a second sound-absorbing material laminated on the first soft sound-insulating layer, and a second soft sound-insulating layer laminated on the second sound-absorbing material and having an air permeability measured in accordance with JIS L1018 of 10 cc/cm 2 ·sec or lower and a Young's modulus measured in accordance with JIS K7127 greater than or equal to five times that of the first soft sound-insulating layer, in which at least the second soft sound-insulating layer is partially or entirely bonded to the second sound-absorbing material.

Claims (18)

1. A sound-proof material comprising:

a first sound-absorbing material disposed facing a sound source;

a first soft sound-insulating layer laminated on a face of the first sound-absorbing material opposite to the sound source, and having an air permeability measured in accordance with JIS L1018 of 10 cc/cm 2 ·sec or lower;

a second sound-absorbing material laminated on the first soft sound-insulating layer; and

a second soft sound-insulating layer laminated on the second sound-absorbing material, and having an air permeability measured in accordance with JIS L1018 of 10 cc/cm 2 ·sec or lower and a Young's modulus measured in accordance with JIS K7127 greater than or equal to five times that of the first soft sound-insulating layer within the range in which it can be deformed by vibration together with the sound-absorbing material,

wherein at least the second soft sound-insulating layer is partially or entirely bonded to the second sound-absorbing material.

2. The sound-proof material according to claim 1 , wherein the total of the basis weights of the first sound-absorbing material, the first soft sound-insulating layer, the second sound-absorbing material, and the second soft sound-insulating layer is 2,000 g/m 2 or less.

3. The sound-proof material according to claim 1 , wherein the second soft sound-insulating layer is made of a thermoplastic elastomer film.

4. The sound-proof material according to claim 1 , wherein peripheral edges thereof are sealed.

5. A sound-proof molding obtained by molding the sound-proof material described in claim 1 into a three-dimensional shape.

6. A method for producing a sound-proof material comprising:

a laminating step of laminating, on a first sound-absorbing material, a first soft sound-insulating film comprising a thermoplastic resin and having an air permeability measured in accordance with JIS L1018 of 10 cc/cm 2 ·sec or lower, a second sound-absorbing material, and a second soft sound-insulating film comprising a thermoplastic resin and having an air permeability measured in accordance with JIS L1018 of 10 cc/cm 2 ·sec or lower and a Young's modulus measured in accordance with JIS K7127 greater than or equal to five times that of the first soft sound-insulating layer within the range in which it can be deformed by vibration together with the sound-absorbing material, in this order, to obtain a laminate; and

a bonding step of performing a heat process on the obtained laminate, to partially or entirely bond at least the second soft sound-insulating layer and the second sound-absorbing material with each other.

7. The production method of a sound-proof material according to claim 6 , further comprising: a molding step of molding the laminate into a three-dimensional shape after the bonding step.

8. A method for producing a sound-proof material comprising:

a laminating step of laminating, on a first sound-absorbing material, a first soft sound-insulating film comprising a thermoplastic resin and having an air permeability measured in accordance with JIS L1018 of 10 cc/cm 2 ·sec or lower, a second sound-absorbing material, and a second soft sound-insulating film comprising a thermoplastic resin and having an air permeability measured in accordance with JIS L1018 of 10 cc/cm 2 ·sec or lower, a second sound-absorbing material, and a second soft sound-insulating film comprising and a Young's modulus measured in accordance with JIS K7127 greater than or equal to five times that of the first soft sound-insulating layer within the range in which it can be deformed by vibration together with the sound-absorbing material, in this order, to obtain a laminate; and

a bonding step of performing a heat-compression on the obtained laminate to mold into a three-dimensional shape and partially or entirely bonding at least the second soft sound-insulating layer and the second sound-absorbing material with each other.

9. A sound-proof method in which the sound-proof material described in claim 1 is disposed so that the first sound-absorbing material is in contact with the sound source.
