Introduction to Nylon Zipper
A nylon zipper consists of three parts:
Chain teeth: made of nylon monofilament spiral winding or injection molding, with a soft texture, bendable, and not easily broken.
Fabric tape: usually woven with polyester fiber, high strength, good dyeing performance, and can match different color requirements.
Puller and pull tab: mostly made of metal or plastic material, responsible for engaging the chain teeth and ensuring smooth operation.
Characteristics and advantages
Lightweight and soft: suitable for close fitting clothing such as sportswear and underwear, avoiding friction discomfort.
Corrosion and rust resistance: not corroded by sweat, rain, or detergents, with a long lifespan.
Silent design: Low opening and closing noise, suitable for quiet scenes such as medical and outdoor equipment.
Diversified design: invisible zippers and waterproof zippers (such as coated ones) can be made to meet different needs.
Application scenarios
Clothing: Down jackets, sportswear, jeans, etc.
Luggage: backpacks, suitcases, balancing lightweight and durability.
Outdoor equipment: tents, sleeping bags, need to adapt to harsh environments.
Purchase and maintenance
When choosing, pay attention to the density of chain teeth (such as # 3, # 5, etc., the larger the number, the thicker it is).
It is recommended to close the zipper during cleaning to avoid deformation of the fabric tape caused by strong machine washing.
Nylon zipper is a zipper mainly made of nylon (polyester or polyamide), which is widely used in clothing, luggage, outdoor products and other fields due to its lightweight, soft, corrosion-resistant and other characteristics. Compared to traditional metal or plastic zippers, nylon zippers have significant advantages in flexibility, comfort, and cost-effectiveness.
