Fiber aggregate for molding

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide a fiber aggregate for a molded article having satisfactory appearance that can provide a molded article excellent in stiffness and strength against bending, further excellent in impact resistance and appearance. The object of the present invention is also to provide a pre-sheet and a molded article that are obtained from the fiber aggregate for the molded article. The fiber aggregate for molding according to the present invention includes the fiber component and the thermal fusion bonding resin component, in which the fiber component contains a pulp fiber and a polypropylene fiber; the thermal fusion bonding resin component contains at least one selected from the group consisting of polyethylene and acid-modified polyethylene; a content of the thermal fusion bonding resin component in the fiber aggregate is 3% by mass or more and 18% by mass or less; and when T represents a tensile strength of the fiber aggregate in a first direction, and Y represents a tensile strength of the fiber aggregate in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, a T/Y ratio is 0.5 or larger and 1.5 or smaller.
