When equipment is permanently exposed to the elements, the fastening system is the critical link in structural integrity. Intense UV radiation, heavy rainfall, and high wind loads can quickly degrade standard components. For years, Zipex has engineered weatherproof fastening solutions specifically for demanding applications, including large-scale civil structures, industrial roofing, tensioned fabric architecture, and convertible vehicle tops.
We manufacture high-performance fastening systems designed to withstand long-term environmental stress. Our range includes permanent splash-waterproof PU-coated zippers for superior weather sealing and specialised stainless steel components to prevent corrosion in humid or damp climates.
For large-span structures, we supply heavy-duty molded injection zippers capable of withstanding immense mechanical stress and wind loads. Additionally, our “intelligent zip-technology” is engineered for vertical sun protection systems, ensuring smooth operation even under significant fabric tension.
Key Capabilities:
