[Case Study] Adoption of Waterproof Zipper AQUASEAL(R) in Care Bathtubs

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

Our AQUASEAL(R) zippers are widely used in applications requiring waterproofing, such as wetsuits, waterproof bags, and cooler bags. ◆ Background of Adoption in Care Bathtubs Bathing for those requiring nursing care poses challenges with standard bathtubs, such as "lifting and transporting them to the bathtub" and "the inability for those with paralysis to bathe." There are also risks associated with helping those requiring care enter and exit the bathtub. While there have been specialized devices that allow bathing while remaining in a wheelchair, their high cost means they are not accessible to all facilities, creating a demand for simpler installation and operation solutions. ◆ Key Points for Problem Solving (How the fastening products helped) By installing the waterproof zipper AQUASEAL(R) around the four sides of the care bathtub, a foldable design was achieved. The setup and storage can be done simply by opening and closing each part with a zipper, allowing one person to perform the task and successfully simplifying the existing equipment. *For product details, please refer to the catalog available for download below. *AQUASEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.

[Case Study] Waterproof Zipper AQUASEAL®: Example of Use in Fumigation

Eliminate the labor involved in pest control of ancient documents, agricultural products, etc., using carbon dioxide. Improve airtightness by attaching a zipper to the fumigation bag, thereby streamlining the process of covering the bag.

Our AQUASEAL(R) zippers are widely used in applications that require waterproofing and airtightness, such as wetsuits, waterproof bags, and cooler bags. ◆ Background of Adoption in Fumigation Bags Carbon dioxide, which is used for pest control of ancient documents and for killing spider mites on agricultural products like strawberries, is a concern for many users when performing pest control, as they worry about gas leaking from the covering bag. The labor involved in sealing the bag has become a challenge. ◆ Key Points for Problem Solving (How the Zipper Helped) We installed the AQUASEAL(R) zipper at the opening of the fumigation bag. The zipper allows for proper sealing of carbon dioxide inside the bag, and it has also improved the usability when covering ancient documents with the fumigation bag. *For more details about the product, please refer to the catalog available for download below. *AQUASEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.

[Example] Waterproof zipper AQUASEAL(R): Sheet for underwater construction

The new method using waterproof zippers has resulted in a reduction of approximately 20% in construction costs and time.

◆Background of Adoption for Underwater Construction Sheets The number of 'divers' performing work during underwater construction has been decreasing year by year. Additionally, the conditions at construction sites (such as underwater visibility, current speed, water temperature, etc.) impact the efficiency in terms of construction period, cost, and safety. There are challenges such as the removal of debris that occurs after the materials used underwater are removed, difficult tasks like deformation repairs, and high maintenance costs even when materials are reused. ◆Key Points for Problem Solving Traditionally, the assembly method of liner plates for temporary closure by divers was common, but the new method covers the outside of pre-assembled plates with a waterproof sheet utilizing the waterproof fastener AQUASEAL(R). This allows for segmented construction, significantly reducing the underwater work performed by divers. The reduction in underwater construction processes, improved economic efficiency through the reuse of plates, and enhanced safety by reducing the risk of decompression sickness have led to approximately a 20% reduction in construction costs and project duration.

[Example] Waterproof zipper AQUASEAL®: Adopted for medical protective clothing

Adopted YKK zippers for the openings of medical protective clothing. Achieved a comfortable air environment inside the suit through high airtight seam welding, while successfully simplifying the process of undressing.

◆Background for Adoption of Medical Protective Clothing Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus, visits to hospitalized patients have been restricted. To provide comfort and safety to healthcare workers and their families through a "personal space" with low infection risk, improvements were sought in the following areas: * Enhanced comfort through air control within the suit * Development of a system based on hard and soft components with reuse in mind * Functionality that allows for easy attachment and detachment for visitation purposes ◆Key Points for Problem Solving (How Fastening Helped) The AQUASEAL(R) zipper was adopted for the openings of the medical protective clothing. The AQUASEAL(R) zipper is a waterproof zipper. It offers greater flexibility and operability compared to the PROSEAL(R) zipper, which has a metal construction for airtightness, making it easier to open and close without excessive effort. *For product details, please refer to the catalog available for download below.* *AQUASEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.* *PROSEAL 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 intermediate fan and reducing power energy consumption.

Our AQUASEAL(R) 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 required. When the duct is long or the cross-sectional area of the tunnel is small, it becomes difficult to install intermediate fans. ◆ Key Points for Solving Challenges (How Fastening Helped) By adopting AQUASEAL(R) 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 as "PDF Download." *AQUASEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.

[Example] Waterproof zipper AQUASEAL®: Used in soundproof curtains

Connect the panels for soundproof curtains at construction sites with high airtightness. Successfully reduce sound leakage and simplify the installation work of soundproof curtains!

Our AQUASEAL(R) fasteners are widely used in applications requiring waterproofing, such as wetsuits, waterproof bags, and cooler bags. ◆ Background of Adoption in Soundproof Curtains at Construction Sites When connecting soundproof panels (sheet-like), sound leakage from the gaps between the panels has been an issue, and methods to enhance airtightness have been sought. ◆ Key Points for Solving the Issue (How Fastening Helped) By connecting the soundproof panels with AQUASEAL(R) fasteners, sound leakage from the gaps was reduced, and the construction work for the soundproof curtains was simplified. *For product details, please refer to the catalog available for download below as "PDF Download." *AQUASEAL is a registered trademark of YKK Corporation.
