Zippers

Zippers are fastening components for easily opening and closing tarpaulins, textiles and other suitable materials. They provide a practical solution for fixed and detachable connections that need to be opened and closed regularly.

The range includes spiral zippers, moulded-tooth zippers, weldable zippers and matching sliders and assembly components. Different versions are available in various sizes, lengths, colours and processing methods.

Applications

Zippers are used in sailmaking, tents, boat covers, protective covers, transport tarpaulins and technical textile products. They are suitable for openings, removable panels and closable fabric constructions. Depending on the version, zippers can be sewn or welded.

What should you consider?

Check the zipper size, length, tooth type and fastening method in relation to the material. Consider expected load, required separation and closing strength. Use matching sliders and assembly components designed for the specific zipper system.

Processing and use

Position the zipper in the required opening and attach it using a suitable industrial sewing machine or textile welding machine. Zipper tape on rolls can be cut to length and fitted with matching sliders and end components. Check that the fastening operates smoothly and is securely attached.

Matching products

Zippers can be combined with technical textiles, PVC tarpaulins, sewing threads and suitable assembly components. Matching zipper sliders, assembly sets, industrial sewing machines and textile welding machines are also available for correct processing.

Alternative or other version

The range includes Budget, Optilon and YKK spiral and moulded-tooth zippers, available in fixed lengths and on rolls. Weldable spiral and moulded-tooth zippers, various zipper sliders and assembly sets are also available. The versions differ in tooth size, colour, length, material and fastening method.
