What should I pay attention to when using zipper?

In 1935, fashion designer Elissa Xinparir first introduced the use of zippers for high-fashion "zipper dresses", advocating for both practical and unique women’s fashion, fully proving that zippers are clothing accessories that realize free-form design of clothing . But do you know what to pay attention to when using zippers? Are there different ways to use invisible zipper slider, waterproof zipper slider and plastic slider zipper?

Matters needing attention in the use of finished zipper

1. The correct selection and use of the slider

Different sliders have different functions and should be selected correctly. In the washing process of clothing, the chemical composition of some detergents is concerned about corrosion. For example, it is best to use zipper spring pulls that are resistant to washing. The zipper is washed in the unfolded state. The lock slider receives sudden pulling force, or some debris enters the slider, causing damage to the slider.

2. Correct use of zipper accessories

Since the metal top stop and bottom stop are sharper for penetrating chain strap feet, the sharp part will be accidentally exposed during the manufacturing and use process, and there are unsafe factors. Therefore, it is recommended that children's clothing choose zipper Use injection-molded top and bottom stops. The same applies to zippers used in underwear. For open-end zippers, be sure to insert the cannula into the bottom of the socket cavity, insert it to the end, and then pull the slider.

If the intubation tube fails to be inserted in place, pull the slider forcibly, which will easily cause the first element of the zipper to deform or shift, causing the two elements to be unable to align or the pull head cannot be pulled, even if it can be pulled, it will cause the element fragmentation phenomenon.

3. The problem of discoloration of metal zipper teeth

The chemical nature of copper alloys is that when they encounter acidic, alkaline, oxidizing or reducing agents, a chemical reaction will occur, causing the color to change. When the chemical agent remaining on the clothing reacts with the chain teeth, the slider or the opening parts of the metal zipper, the zipper may change color. This reaction is more likely to occur under high temperature and high humidity conditions.

Closed end metal zipper have been protected during the production process, but due to the oxidizing nature of the copper material, even if the protective treatment is properly seated, there will be unavoidable things happening. In order to prevent oxidation of the copper alloy, it is necessary to carry out anti-rust treatment, but due to the use of a strong treatment agent and sealing in a polyethylene packaging bag, it will promote discoloration. The zipper rubber band itself contains sulfide, which can easily cause the copper material to become black due to the oxidation reaction, so avoid using rubber bands to tie metal zippers.

Remind the manufacturers of metal zippers and metal zipper puller that it is best not to seal clothing packaging bags, keep them breathable, use moisture-proof paper and moisture-proof agent, the effect will be better, reasonable and correct use of zippers is an important way to improve the service life of zipper puller and zipper pouch.
