First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A soundproofing material which is an inorganic fibrous porous body having a cell structure and comprising inorganic fibers other than asbestos, wherein an average cell diameter is 260 μm or more and 1000 μm or less, a bulk density is 0.0068 to 0.024 g/cm 3 , a flow resistivity is 170,000 to 3,000,000 Ns/m 4 , and the inorganic fibrous porous body comprises the inorganic fibers and one or more binders comprised of a coupling agent and optionally an inorganic binder, wherein the coupling agent is one or more of a silane coupling agent or a titanium coupling agent, wherein the inorganic fibers and one or more binders comprise a total amount of 95 wt % or more of the porous body, and wherein the coupling agent comprises 1 to 10 wt % of the porous body. 2. The soundproofing material according to claim 1 , wherein the inorganic fibers are glass fibers. 3. The soundproofing material according to claim 1 , further comprising a coating material coating at least a part of a surface of the porous body. 4. A soundproofing material which is an inorganic fibrous porous body, wherein the inorganic fibrous porous body comprises inorganic fibers other than asbestos, and has a compressive stress when compressed at normal temperature at a compression ratio of 80% of 0.1 MPa or less and a recovery ratio when compressed at normal temperature at a compression ratio of 80% of 50% or more, and the inorganic fibrous porous body comprises the inorganic fibers and one or more binders comprised of a coupling agent and optionally an inorganic binder, wherein the coupling agent is one or more of a silane coupling agent or a titanium coupling agent, wherein the inorganic fibers and one or more binders comprise a total amount of 98 wt % or more of the porous body, wherein the coupling agent comprises 1 to 10 wt % of the porous body, and wherein the one or more binders do not comprise clay minerals. 5. The soundproofing material according to claim 4 , wherein an apparent Young's modulus of the porous body when compressed at normal temperature at a compression ratio of 80% is 1 MPa or less. 6. The soundproofing material according to claim 4 , wherein a bulk density of the porous body at normal temperature is 0.005 to 0.1 g/cm 3 . 7. The soundproofing material according to claim 4 , wherein a product [MPa·g/cm 3 ] of a bulk density and a compressive stress of the porous body when compressed at normal temperature at a compression ratio of 40 to 80% is 0.3 or less. 8. A soundproofing material which is an inorganic fibrous porous body, wherein the inorganic fibrous porous body consists of inorganic fibers other than asbestos and a coupling agent, or consists of inorganic fibers other than asbestos, a surfactant and a coupling agent, wherein the coupling agent is one or more of a silane coupling agent or a titanium coupling agent, the inorganic fibers and the coupling agent comprise 98 wt % or more of the porous body, and the coupling agent comprises 1 to 10 wt % of the porous body, and all of recovery ratios of the porous body when compressed at normal temperature at each compression ratio in a range of compression ratio of 0 to 90% are 80% or more.
