  • Publication number: 20050158536
    Abstract: An expansion-molded article (foamed body) produced by using foamed and expanded beads, and having open voids has sound absorbing qualities, and can be used as a sound absorbing material. However, a sound absorbing material comprising such an expansion-molded article has been unable to attain a high sound absorption coefficient in a wide acoustic frequency range. The invention relates to a molded article produced by using resin particles, and having sound absorbing qualities. The resin particles used have through hole(s) and a porosity of 45 to 80% in a most densely packed state. The void content of the molded article is 10 to 60%, and the bulk density thereof is 0.01 to 0.6 g/cm3.
