VISLON Divisible Zipper YKK White (501) 80CM

VISLON Divisible Zipper YKK White (501) 80CM

This is a proper heavy-duty zipper, the kind you reach for when a regular coil zip just won't cut it. The chunky moulded teeth sit in a crisp white against the woven tape, giving a clean and slightly technical look. It's a divisible zipper, meaning the two sides separate completely at the bottom, so you can use it on jackets, coats and other pieces that need to open all the way rather than just to a stop point.

Product Features:

• Item Number: YKK80V-501
• Composition: 100% Nylon

What is a VISLON zipper?

VISLON is YKK's name for their moulded plastic tooth zippers, made from durable nylon instead of metal or fine coil. The individual teeth are moulded directly onto the tape, which makes them wider and chunkier than standard coil zippers, and noticeably tougher for everyday wear. This type of zipper handles bulk and pulling force well, which is why you see it so often on winter coats, work jackets and outdoor gear. The slider glides smoothly over the teeth and locks the two halves together firmly once closed. Because it's plastic rather than metal, it also stays light and won't rust, corrode or leave marks on fabric over time.

Projects and Applications

This zipper is built for pieces that take a beating and need a closure that won't let you down. Some ideas to get you started:
