[Example] Adoption of waterproof zipper AQUASEAL(R) in caregiving bathtubs.

Improving caregiving bathing that poses risks to both users and caregivers! Achieved a foldable caregiving bathtub with a zipper, successfully simplifying bathing tasks, installation, and cleanup.

Our AQUASEAL(R) zippers are widely used in applications that require waterproofing, such as wetsuits, waterproof bags, and cooler bags. ◆ Background of Adoption in Care Bathtubs Bathing for individuals requiring care presents challenges with standard bathtubs, such as the need to "lift and transport them to the bathtub" and the inability for those with paralysis to bathe. Additionally, there are risks associated with assisting individuals in and out of the bathtub. While there have been specialized devices that allow bathing while remaining in a wheelchair, their high cost has made them inaccessible for many facilities. Therefore, there has been a demand for solutions that can be installed and operated more easily. ◆ Key Points in Problem Solving (How the fastening products were helpful) By installing the waterproof AQUASEAL(R) zippers on all four sides of the care bathtub, we achieved a foldable design. This allows for easy setup and storage by simply opening and closing each part with a zipper, enabling one person to perform the task and successfully simplifying existing equipment. *For product details, please refer to the catalog available for download below. *AQUASEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.

[Example] Waterproof zipper AQUASEAL(R): Tunnel exhaust duct

Eliminate air leakage at the connection points of the exhaust duct! With our fasteners, we have reduced air leakage to one-hundredth, successfully omitting the need for intermediate fans and reducing energy consumption.

Our AQUASEAL® zippers are widely used in applications requiring waterproofing, such as wetsuits, waterproof bags, and cooler bags. ◆ Background of Adoption in Tunnel Exhaust Ducts Exhaust ducts used in tunnel construction are extended by connecting them with zippers every 10 meters. However, due to frequent "air leaks" from the zippers, large fans or intermediate fans may be necessary. When the duct is long or the cross-sectional area of the tunnel is small, it becomes difficult to install intermediate fans. ◆ Key to Solving the Problem (How Fastening Helped) By adopting AQUASEAL® zippers at the connection points of the ducts, we successfully reduced air leakage to one-hundredth compared to conventional products. This led to the omission of intermediate fans and a reduction in electrical energy consumption. *For product details, please refer to the catalog available for download below. *AQUASEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.
