Slider for spiral zippers

A YKK coil zipper puller is a movable element that allows the zipper to open and close by engaging or disengaging its teeth. Coil zippers (also called twisted or nylon) are flexible and soft, making them ideal for clothing, accessories, and products where elasticity and comfort are important.

YKK (Yoshida Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha) is a recognized world leader in the production of zippers. Their coil zipper pullers combine innovative technology, durability, and aesthetics. Original YKK runners ensure smooth and silent operation of the zipper throughout the entire service life of the product.

Advantages

1. High-precision fit on the spiral. YKK runners are perfectly matched to the shape and pitch of the spiral, ensuring uniform movement without jamming and distortions.
2. Reliability in daily use. Even with repeated opening and closing of the zipper, the runner retains its functionality and strength.
3. Lightweight and compact. Compared to runners for metal zippers, runners for spiral zippers are lighter and smaller in size, which is especially important for thin fabrics and products with increased comfort requirements.
4. Variety of shapes and models. YKK offers automatic, non-automatic, reversible, double-sided and decorative runners suitable for any task.
5. Anti-corrosion and wear-resistant coatings. The surface of the runners is resistant to moisture, ultraviolet radiation and mechanical damage, which is especially important for sportswear and travel clothing.
