PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a sustained-release material which can be impregnated with a volatile compound by a supercritical impregnation method using a supercritical fluid, and which can contain a large amount of the volatile compound and is excellent in sustained-release performance. Of functional materials. A sustained-release material containing a vinyl alcohol-based resin (A) and a thermoplastic resin (B) for gradually releasing an impregnated volatile compound (C), which is a thermoplastic resin (B). ), the SP value is 7 to 12, and the content ratio (weight ratio) of the vinyl alcohol resin (A) and the thermoplastic resin (B) is 95/5 to 55/45.
