Depends on density of material.

Have a play with this: Porous Absorber Calculator V1.55

Normal fluffy is about 5000 rayls/m with denser fibreboard around 15000-25000.

(download open office if needed, it's a free!)

As you'll see, friction absorbers are not particularly effective at such low frequencies unless extremely deep.
