Developed a new diatomaceous earth bath mat!
New soft diatomaceous earth inner "grid"
+ Excellent material and careful sewing All made in Japan

About three years ago, we carried out a soft diatomaceous earth bath mat project at Makuake for the first time, and so far we have received support for a total of 8,970,683 yen for five projects. thank you very much.

While the soft diatomaceous earth bath mat was well received, there were issues such as those who were concerned about the instability of their feet due to its fluffiness, and those who hesitated to step on it like a pillow.

It has been about 3 years since the concept and patent application. Research and development of thin and uniform inners by subdividing the powder encapsulation points. We were able to achieve this by investing in production equipment. Thanks to all the supporters who have supported us so far. Thank you again.

Patent application about 3 years ago

"Mochi Sara" is a new concept bath mat that has the advantages of both cloth and diatomaceous earth.

Three features

1. The second person is also comfortable! The cover absorbs water instantly + the ultimate touch that is fluffy but smooth!

We are particular about the strict specifications of the cover material, which has high water absorption and also has a high-quality treading comfort.
was! After all it is made in Japan.

The flexibility to catch raw eggs from 20 cm * 1 and the quick movement of moisture to the inner "grid" have made it feel comfortable and dry.

* 1 From the in-house test results of Techno Gateway Co., Ltd.

The cover is made in Japan and is made of 100% polyester soft stretch cardboard knit. The cardboard structure material uses soft-touch high-multi yarn, so it has a cheek and smooth feel, and it is a treading comfort that makes you want to nod.

Sticky

Smooth

* Cardboard knit is a knit material with a structure that has an air layer in the middle like cardboard. It has both a thick feeling and lightness .

* High multi-thread is a bundle of extremely thin threads to form a single thread. Although the cost is higher than using thick thread, it can express softness and suppleness that cannot be expressed by normal thickness thread.

2. A door that opens outside the bathroom is fine. It will not crack even if the floor is uneven. The floor will not be scratched. Reliable and refreshing with strong antibacterial deodorant! .. New thin and flat inner "grid"

Image of water absorption and quick drying

Normally, diatomaceous earth mats are hardened with a hardening agent called a binder, but the grid encloses the powder as it is in a special non-woven fabric. Therefore, the surface area of the powder becomes the water absorption performance as it is, and even if it is thin, it can absorb a lot of water.

In addition to diatomaceous earth and silica gel, alum and zinc oxide are distributed to add antibacterial and deodorant power . Therefore, it does not smell even if you do not wash it every day, and it can be used cleanly and comfortably by the whole family.

The powdered diatomaceous earth mixed material was divided into grids (cells) and flattened thinly. (Thinness of about 1.2 cm when the cover is attached) This eliminates the worry of tripping.
Even if you get your feet on it, it is safe because it is soft and light unlike the plate-shaped one.
It is also recommended for families with small children and the elderly.

In addition, because it uses a non-woven fabric that is permeable but does not contain water, it is possible to efficiently transfer water to the diatomaceous earth mixed material.
By making it thin and flat, the surface area increases, so the water absorption capacity also increases.

Like the cover, it is safe and secure made in Japan. Of course, there is no problem of asbestos contamination.
The number of cells in the grid is 12 for M size, 18 for L size, and 48 for LL size.

3. Although it is diatomaceous earth, no sandpaper is required. Just put the cover in the washing machine. The burden of housework is reduced.

Cover : Easy to remove in about 3 seconds. If you are concerned about dirt, you can easily wash it and it is hygienic.
When washing, it is generally said that more than 10 times the weight of the laundry is required, but "Mochi Sara" is light and saves water because you only have to wash the cover, not the entire bath mat. be connected. It is thin and can be washed with other laundry, making it even more economical. It is not bulky when it is dried in the washing tub.

Inner "grid ": Dry naturally just by placing it in a well-ventilated place. No need to dry outside.

Although it is a diatomaceous earth bath mat, there is no need to sand the troublesome surface with sandpaper.

When installing, it is easy to insert the cover in half from one side and reverse it to insert the rest.

It is lighter than the plate-shaped diatomaceous earth bath mat of the same size as M size about 270 g, L size about 400 g, and LL size about 1040 g.
When compared with our plate-shaped diatomaceous earth bath mat, it is about 1/6 lighter per cubic centimeter.

Since it is light, it can be attached to the washing machine with a magnet clip, etc., and because it is soft, it can be folded and stored. You don't have to lean against it like a plate-shaped diatomaceous earth bath mat, so you don't have to worry about it falling over and cracking.
Also, it will not scratch the floor when used.

After using it, use a magnet clip etc.

If you keep it in the washing machine, it will not take up space on the floor.

It is even more compact if you fold it and store it.

3 sizes

In addition to general M and L sizes, LL sizes are also available . It is large and easy to catch splashes, so it can also be used to wipe important children and pets.
* Please be careful not to let your pet bite the bath mat and damage it.
* After wiping, keep it out of reach of pets.

11 colors

One of the major reasons for using this cover fabric is

It is a color that is elegant and enhances the bathroom atmosphere.

In fact, all of them are good colors that complement the texture of the material, and I could hardly choose them and added them to the lineup. Please choose your favorite color for this project. At the time of general sale, it is difficult to sell 11 colors because the inventory load is too large, so we plan to sell only a few colors.

"Unleash the potential made in Japan and start a good lab"
Let's release the potential made in Japan together. Many technical products are great but unsuccessful. Even if it is highly evaluated by people who used it with technically superior products, it was not well known and did not sell well, so it was discontinued. There are not a few such technologies and products. In the era of marketing heyday, we brought low-priced products produced in countries with low social insurance premiums and taxes, low electricity costs and low environmental measures costs from overseas, and the development cost burden was 0, beautiful shooting, good-looking promotion, large For hit products and big brands. Is this all right for Japan? This has continued for decades, with the relative competitiveness of Japanese brands declining, the employment environment in Japan deteriorating, the number of science-related human resources declining, and the national power declining. Japan will not grow up with this. I want to unleash the potential of Japanese manufacturing together.

"Developing good things x Communicating goodness = Maximizing the joy that customers use"
It started in June 2021 as a concept brand that Techno Gateway Co., Ltd. and MUGEN Co., Ltd. jointly aim to realize. We will deliver the materials and technologies carefully selected mainly in Japan with an easy-to-understand and easy-to-use design. This time, we will deliver "Mochi Sara" as a project following the first "casara". Until now, Hayakawa of Techno Gateway Co., Ltd. has been conducting research, development, design, marketing, manufacturing, sales, and support alone, but we have partnered with Mugen Co., Ltd. for design, which is an important point of contact with customers. We will provide products that are more satisfying.

Thanks to everyone, we were able to celebrate the 10th anniversary of our founding. A company that realizes comfort with chemistry in Kisarazu City, Chiba Prefecture.

There were many things on the way to this point. Founded in October 2011. that's right. This year, the Great East Japan Earthquake struck in March, and I was suddenly reminded that everyday life would no longer be normal. We have launched Techno Gateway Co., Ltd. to help you in your limited life without regrets. Initially, a subsidiary was established in Thailand to export Japanese high-performance resins to Thailand for HDDs, but the market has shrunk due to the rise of SSDs and downsizing. In 2017, we sold our subsidiary and took on the challenge of developing new products in Japan that apply our knowledge of chemistry. We received a great deal of human and financial support from people in Kisarazu City and Chiba Prefecture, realized the development of many new products such as soft diatomaceous earth at the Kazusa Incubation Center, and solicited support through crowdfunding at Makuake. rice field.

So far, the total amount of 15 projects is about 29 million yen. Thanks to the support of many supporters, we were able to develop an innovative product.
If you notice, this is the 10th year since the company was founded. We would like to continue developing new products that will help everyone's comfort. In addition, before the start of this project, we asked our supporters to answer the questionnaire, which was a great reference for studying the specifications. Thank you very much!
