YKK® Zipper #5 Vislon® Continuous Black is a UV treated, Delrin zipper chain. Vislon zippers are made with Delrin plastic teeth molded to the fabric tape edges. This construction makes them strong and practically weather proof, having been designed to resist damage from ultraviolet rays and corrosion. YKK Vislon Zippers are great for a marine environment. Use a #5 Vislon zipper in tote bags, cushion closures, and much more.

Continuous zippers require at least one end to be sewn shut and do not include a starter box or pin, top stops, or zipper sliders (sold separately).

Sold per foot.

Vislon & Coil Zippers - Part 1
Most zippers come in two distinct styles called vislon or coil. This video will discuss the differences of a vislon and coil zipper. Vislon zippers are the most common marine zippers. They are strong and designed to resist UV and corrosive damage. Coil zipper chain is strong and flexible due to a fine toothed design. Great for bags, tents, packs and rounding corner applications, but not as good for UV resistance.

A finished zipper will separate like a zipper on a jacket while a continuous zipper is meant to be used in applications where at least one end stays closed. This video will demonstrate the differences of a finished zipper vs. a continuous zipper.
