Abstract

Provided are resin foam particles that enable shaping of a sound absorbing member having excellent sound absorption performance through a resin foam shaped product. Also provided is a laminate that includes a resin foam shaped product as a base material and with which high sound absorption performance can be obtained even when the laminate is a thin material. The resin foam particles contain a resin and have a recessed external part. A ratio ρ 0 /ρ 1 of density of the resin ρ 0 and true density ρ 1 of the resin foam particles is 2 to 20, and a ratio ρ 1 /ρ 2 of true density ρ 1 of the resin foam particles and bulk density ρ 2 of the resin foam particles is 1.5 to 4.0.

Claims (9)

1. A laminate comprising a surface material (I) including a fiber assembly and a base material (II) including a resin foam shaped product, wherein

the resin foam shaped product is obtained by fusing together resin foam particles comprising a resin and having a recessed external part,

a ratio ρ 0 /ρ 1 of density ρ 0 of the resin and true density ρ 1 of the resin foam particles is 2 to 20,

a ratio ρ 1 /ρ 2 of true density ρ 1 of the resin foam particles and bulk density ρ 2 of the resin foam particles is 1.5 to 4.0,

the resin foam shaped product includes pores that are continuous between the resin foam particles that have been fused and has a porosity of 15% to 80%,

the fiber assembly has a mass per unit area of 10 g/m 2 to 300 g/m 2 , an average apparent density of 0.10 g/cm 3 to 1.0 g/cm 3 , an average fiber diameter of 0.6 μm to 50 μm, and an air permeability of 2 cc/(cm 2 ·sec) to 70 cc/(cm 2 ·sec), and

the laminate has a thickness of 3 mm to 80 mm.

2. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the surface material (I) is a fiber assembly laminate including three layers that are a thermoplastic synthetic fiber layer (A) having an average fiber diameter of 5 μm to 50 μm as one surface layer, a thermoplastic synthetic microfiber layer (B) having an average fiber diameter of 0.3 μm to 10 μm as an intermediate layer, and a layer (C) containing thermoplastic synthetic fibers having an average fiber diameter of 5 μm to 50 μm as another surface layer, or is a fiber assembly laminate composite obtained through stacking of 2 to 30 sheets of the fiber assembly laminate.

3. The laminate according to claim 1 , wherein the laminate is a freestanding soundproofing material.
