About YKK CINC-36 Zipper

• YKK  Brand (Yoshida Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisha).

• CINC-36  YKK product code.

  • C at the start of the code indicates a Closed-End zipper (means the two sides do not separate at the bottom).

  • INC usually refers to a synthetic (coil) zipper type with certain element/tape characteristics used for garments like trousers.

  • 36 refers to the size/style group (often matching a size around #3 or similar).

Note: CINC-36 is typically associated with nylon/coil zipper construction, not metal meaning the chain/elements are flexible nylon coil on polyester tape, common for trouser/jeans zipper inserts.

• Type: Nylon/Coil zipper (coil elements rather than metal teeth) standard full-component zipper used for apparel. 

• Function: Closed-End (zipper does not separate at the bottom).

• Application: Typically used in trouser flies, pants, skirts, casual/denim garments, uniforms.

• Slider: Usually autolock or metal slider (often with locking mechanism).

 Size Code: 36

• The number in YKK codes (e.g., 36) is part of the internal product classification that correlates with zipper chain width/type  around size #3 coil-equivalent (about ~3 mm chain when zipped). 

 Material:

• Nylon coil elements (the teeth are formed from coiled nylon monofilament). 

• Tape: Polyester fabric (durable and easy to stitch into garment seams). 

• Slider: Usually metal slider with autolock mechanism (ensures the zipper stays closed unless pulled). 

• Closed-End Function: This means the zippers two halves stay fixed together at the bottom  ideal for trouser and pant flies. 

• Nylon Coil Construction: Offers smooth gliding action and flexibility compared to rigid metal teeth, and is durable for garments. 

• Autolock Slider: Many CINC-36 zippers come with an autolock slider, which prevents unintended opening under stress (useful for pants).
