Different clothing may require different zippers. For example, we usually wear ordinary zippers such as Jeans Zipper, Invisible Zipper, Plastic Zipper, Nylon Zipper, Metal Fashion Zipper and so on. But there are some special objects, such as outdoor equipment, raincoats, tents, etc. The zippers they need are called heavy-duty zippers.

Such zippers are usually made of stronger materials or more sophisticated techniques, especially on their teeth or elements. It can be seen that heavy-duty zippers are specially designed to withstand hard wear or extreme weather conditions.

The characteristics of heavy-duty zippers are significantly different from ordinary zippers.

1. Heavy duty zippers are especially stronger when you pull them from the side.

2. Commonly, heavy duty zippers are equipped with bigger individual teeth than those of standard zippers. Due to this reason, commonly heavy duty zippers will require roughly 30% more force to open and close.

3. Stiffness/Rigidity: Heavy duty zippers are commonly made with a more rigid/stiff material, thus, they rarely follow the contours of the garment/fabric material. With that in mind, heavy duty zippers applications in wearable items are limited.

One more point needs to be emphasized. Once a heavy zipper has broken a tooth, you need to change the zipper, just like a standard zipper. Its teeth cannot be replaced individually.

There are also different types of heavy-duty zippers, which we will continue to discuss in the next issue. The quality of the zipper is very important. Imagine that if the bad zip on your equipment breaks in the bad weather and environment outdoors, you will be in trouble. It is recommended that you purchase high-quality zippers from regular manufacturers.
