Nylon waterproof zipper

Apr 12,2024 BSL

The waterproof zipper is a branch of nylon zipper, which is a nylon zipper that has undergone certain special treatments. Commonly used special methods include pasting PVC film, pasting TPU film, soaking in waterproofing agent, coating waterproof zippers, etc.

 

 

The main material used for waterproof zippers with PVC film is PVC, and the main component is polyvinyl chloride. TPU film is a film made of TPU granules through a special process. It inherits the excellent physical properties of TPU and has an extremely wide range of applications. Because TPU overcomes many of the shortcomings of PVC, TPU waterproof zippers are also superior in performance to PVC waterproof zippers. The characteristics of the coated waterproof zipper are that it does not fall off, does not turn white, does not become brittle, is resistant to low temperatures of minus 70 degrees Celsius, is environmentally friendly, soft, and has good waterproof properties.

Waterproof zipper options

 

 

1. The waterproof zipper film will not tear.

 

 

2. Smoothness. It is generally believed that the smoother the zipper, the better the quality of the waterproof zipper.

 

 

3. The surface of the waterproof zipper film is smooth and delicate, with a leather-like smooth feel. This is the appearance of a high-quality waterproof zipper.

 

 

4. Waterproof effect: The size of the middle seam is directly related to the waterproof effect of the waterproof zipper. If it is too large, it will not have a waterproof effect, and the meaning of the waterproof zipper itself will be lost.
