From pool covers to fishing nets, YKK Americas Group has many fastening solutions for industrial applications.  YKK’s large size zippers offer high strength and durability in a closure.  Our high strength buckles also are available to hold down just about anything.

YKK offers varying degrees of water and air resistance zippers.  Airtight/Watertight zippers provide solutions in situations where access is needed, but also where an effective barrier between water, gases, chemicals, liquids, and/or other substances is important.  For example, compartments in shipping, aircraft, or civil engineering works, and covers over fermentation vats and water stores are excellent places for a YKK® Airtight/Watertight zipper.  Of course, survival suits, including dry suits, firefighter suits, and chemical suits are also ideal candidates for these zippers.
