In fact, the protection of the zipper is very important. If improperly used, the zipper is prone to discoloration and deformation, even Metal Zipper with good quality and performance is no exception. Once this phenomenon occurs, these items will not be used normally. Of course, Plastic Teeth Zipper, Rhinestone Zipper, Invisible Clothing Zipper and other various zippers are all the same. Today we focus on metal zippers.

First of all, we should know that if the metal zipper is stored under high temperature and humidity for a long time, it may change color, so please keep the metal zipper in a dry environment.

In addition, we should have different processing methods for different fabrics. Many garments will be washed after processing. At this time, sufficient tests must be performed to ensure that the zipper will not be discolored, migrated, and damaged. For example, leather products, if it is neutralized and dried insufficiently, may cause discoloration and corrosion of the zipper. Therefore, perform a test before sewing the zipper to confirm that no similar situation will occur.

As an important part of clothing, the selection of metal zippers is usually based on the material of the clothing. While exerting its actual effect, it can also achieve overall coordination. Many stains or acidic compounds are usually left on clothing. This has a great impact on metal zippers, and the two may undergo a chemical reaction that will cause performance degradation. Therefore, use the zipper action gently, not with force.

In the autumn and winter seasons, leather is a practical material for clothing. Since this type of clothing needs to be exposed to many chemical substances, as a metal accessory, the use of zipper products also needs to avoid direct contact with these substances. In order to avoid its discoloration, care must be taken to remove the reagents remaining on the leather surface when cleaning.

In addition, wool fabrics are also one of the more worn types. The metal zippers used on it must be prevented from bleaching. Acid bleach must be used to ensure the cleanliness of the fabric and the zipper.
