[New Release from Toray Coms Shiga] For those who 'don't want to fail with cheap weed control sheets'. Toray's professional-grade weed control sheet 'Toray Acstar Mantle®', incorporating Toray's technology, is now available to the general public.

Toray Coms Shiga Co., Ltd. (Location: 1-1-1 Sonoyama, Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Toshiki Kawamura), a Toray Group company that manufactures and sells industrial material products, has begun selling "Toray Acstar Mantle®" (commonly known as "Toray Acstar"), a highly durable and highly permeable weed control sheet with an extensive track record in public works, to the general public.

Background of Development: Endless Failures with "Inexpensive Weed Control Sheets"

In recent years, with the growing demand for DIY, the use of weed control sheets has expanded in residential gardens, parking lots, and fallow lands. However, many inexpensive, short-lived products are on the market, leading to a continuous stream of failures such as "the sheet deteriorated in just a few years" or "strong weeds like horsetail broke through." Replacing a weed control sheet requires removing gravel or artificial turf laid on top, a task that involves significant labor and cost. Our company launched this product for general household purchase, aiming to eliminate the "pain of re-installation" by offering the highest quality sheet used in professional settings (such as public works).

Three Features of 'Toray Acstar Mantle®'

1. Overwhelming durability recognized by professionals. Does not allow horsetail to penetrate.

Utilizes Toray's unique high-strength polyester non-woven fabric. It exhibits high penetration resistance even against vigorous weeds (such as horsetail and cogongrass) that would break through conventional products.

2. Expect long-term effects with installation under gravel.

Outdoor exposure tests have shown a service life of over 17 years, but when installed under gravel, which blocks UV rays, even longer-term effects are expected, reducing troublesome maintenance work.

3. "High water permeability" to prevent puddles and reliable "domestic manufacturing."

It allows rainwater to smoothly penetrate the ground, preventing puddles after installation. We deliver reliable quality manufactured in Japan under thorough quality control by the Toray Group.

Usage Scenes

Detached houses: For weed control under gravel around the house or in the backyard.

Agricultural land/Managed land: For weed suppression in former rice paddies or fallow lands that have become difficult to manage.

Business premises: For parking lot operators, stores, and municipalities to maintain landscapes.
