Modern technologies in fittings are aimed not only at durability and functionality, but also at tactile comfort. Particular attention is paid to elements that are in direct contact with the skin. One of the most successful solutions in this area was the VISLON® Soft Touch zipper from YKK – a combination of proven reliability and a soft, pleasant to the touch surface.
YKK VISLON® Soft Touch is an innovative tractor zipper with a unique matte coating of teeth, which makes it extremely comfortable to wear and gives the product a stylish, sophisticated look.
What is VISLON® Soft Touch?
VISLON® zippers have long established themselves as durable, lightweight and resistant to external influences. However, standard plastic teeth have a characteristic rigidity and shine. In the Soft Touch version, YKK has applied a special processing technology, thanks to which the surface of the teeth becomes:
- Matte;
- Silky to the touch;
- Soft when in contact with skin and other fabrics.
At the same time, all the characteristics of the traditional VISLON® zipper are preserved — strength, resistance to temperature and moisture, wear resistance.
Design and materials
- Teeth: cast from high-quality thermoplastic (POM), with a matte soft coating;
- Tape: made of polyester, can be made in different colors;
- Runner: easy to slide, it is possible to install decorative or branded options;
- Teeth coating: soft, with a soft touch effect, developed using exclusive YKK technology.
