YKK adds carbon-fibre design to its Aquaguard zippers

24/02/2014
Zipper manufacturer YKK has launched a new design in its Aquaguard water-repellent range, using a carbon-fibre effect.

“The high-tech material par excellence, carbon fibre is used in all applications requiring high-level mechanical strength without piling on the weight,” the company said, adding that the new design is “wonderfully lightweight” and flexible.

The carbon-fibre design was one of a number that YKK had on show for the first time at Pluriel Vision in Paris in mid-February.
