YKK fasteners are accessories from the world’s leading manufacturer
The production of clothes and accessories is impossible without high-quality accessories: fasteners, zippers, buttons, etc. No matter how perfect the fabrics, models and tailoring are – all this loses its meaning if a poorly made fastener fails on the first day of wearing. Therefore, representatives of the sewing industry strive to purchase only proven accessories for their production, because the reputation of the brand depends on its durability.
YKK fastener: Japanese mark of quality
Probably, each of us paid attention to the mysterious three letters on the zippers of jeans, jackets, bags and wallets. In fact, YKK is the first letters of the Japanese name of the company, which in the English version looks like Yoshida Company Limited. Its founder was Tadao Yoshida – back in 1934, he launched the production of zippers, an innovative device for fastening clothes at that time.
Over time, the products of the Yoshida plant became more and more popular, and now the company’s branches are represented in 73 countries around the world. It is hard to imagine, but the YKK company logo is indicated on almost 90% of all zippers produced today. Global fashion houses and manufacturers of clothing for the mass market cooperate with it. What became the secret of the Japanese company? Perhaps the answer lies in the company’s philosophy.
“No one can achieve success if he does not benefit others,” Tadao Yoshida believed. To live up to this credo, his factory paid careful attention to every stage of fastener production, and the production itself was called the “utility cycle.” All mechanisms in Yoshida’s factory were so coordinated and reliable that only it could work during strong earthquakes in the Japanese islands.
YKK plastic is durable and reliable
Our catalog presents fastex for any purpose: both for sewing youth bags, sports and city backpacks, and for tourist and tactical equipment. YKK plastic accessories are made of acetal and have a number of advantages that distinguish them favorably from competitors:
- High strength – thanks to this property, products with such buckles will last for many years and even decades.
- Flexibility and elasticity protect fasteners from fragility and breakage.
- Resistance to abrasion and deformation is simply necessary for products that are subjected to increased load.
- The operating temperature range of fastex is from -40 to +130°С.
- Fire resistance, air and water resistance are especially relevant for sports and tourist equipment.
Material of YKK buckles is acetal (Polyoxymethylene). It is a crystalline thermoplastic polymer material valued for its physical and chemical resistance. These parameters are preserved even with significant fluctuations in environmental conditions: temperature, humidity and wind strength.
Another important characteristic of acetal is the ability to remember the load (the so-called bending memory), so the YKK fastener retains its properties when repeatedly exposed to it. The scope of use of fastex is quite wide. It can be everyday clothes and accessories: backpacks, belts, bags, bracelets, as well as special purpose equipment: covers for fishing or sports equipment, tourist and ski overalls and much more.
Recently, high-quality fastex YKK is especially relevant for sewing military ammunition. It is a reliable plastic accessory for tactical shoulder bags, paramedic medical bags, army bags and other equipment.
Fastex YKK: buy wholesale in Ukraine
It would seem that there can be something innovative in such a simple everyday device as a plastic carabiner. But each YKK buckle is the result of carefully verified technological development, as evidenced by popular models. For example, fastex YKK LB-R is distinguished by its light weight and high strength. This was achieved by reducing the size and shape of the outlet.
Fastex YKK LB-LW series belong to ultra-light buckles, the design of which is the YKK company’s own development. They are equipped with a side connector, which allows you to fix them with one hand, and also prevents involuntary opening.
