Abstract

A soundproofing material for vehicle having a laminated structure comprising two sound absorbing layers and an interlayer interposed therebetween, characterized in that the interlayer is formed by bonding and laminating on the respective side of an air-impermeable film made of a thermoplastic resin film having a thickness of from 7μ to 50μ heat-fusible films having a thickness of from 7μ to 50μ made of a thermoplastic resin film having a lower melting point than that of the air-impermeable film using a multi-layer inflation method and the soundproofing material is heat pressure-molded so that the heat-fusible film is melted to cause the sound absorbing layers to be bonded to the respective side of the air-impermeable film.

Claims (4)

1. A soundproofing material for vehicle having a laminated structure comprising two sound absorbing layers and an interlayer interposed therebetween, wherein said interlayer is formed by bonding and laminating on both sides of an air-impermeable film having a thickness of from 7μ to 50μ made of a thermoplastic resin film having a melting point of from 160° C. to 250° C., a heat-fusible film having a thickness of from 7μ to 50μ made of a thermoplastic resin film having a melting point of from 100° C. to 130° C. using a multi-layer inflation method, a first one of the two sound absorbing layers has a thickness of from 0.5 mm to 15 mm and a weight of from 100 to 2,000 g/m 2 , a second one of the two sound absorbing layers has a thickness of from 5 mm to 40 mm and a weight of from 500 to 3,000 g/m 2 , wherein when the soundproofing material is put in an oven, wherein hot air of about 200° C. is blown against both sides of the interlayer for 30 to 60 seconds so that the heat-fusible films are melted to cause the sound absorbing layers to be bonded to a respective side of the air-impermeable film, wherein when the soundproofing material is immediately moved into a cold-forming mold comprising an upper mold having a cooling water pipe incorporated therein and a lower mold having a plurality of suction holes formed on a molding surface, wherein the interlayer is pressed to form a desired three-dimensional shape.

2. The soundproofing material for vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the sound absorbing layer is a fiber assembly made of felt.

3. The soundproofing material for vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the sound absorbing layer is a fiber assembly made of glass wool.

4. The soundproofing material for vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the sound absorbing layer is a porous synthetic resin layer made of urethane foam.
