We already know that whether it is Watertight Zipper, Long Chain Zipper, Jeans Zipper, or Invisible Nylon Zipper, their components are basically the same. The constituent components of the zipper are tape, bead, scoops, chain, top stop, bottom stop, etc.

Many people like cotton when buying clothes because it is comfortable and healthy. In the zipper industry, there are also cotton zipper tapes. It is also very popular with consumers. The following will introduce the characteristics of Cotton Tape to help you better protect this type of zipper and extend its service life.

1. Strength of zipper tape: The strong acid, hydrogen peroxide, chlorite and other chemicals used in bleaching, washing and dyeing will weaken the zipper tape and cause damage.

2. Cloth shrinkage: Compared with polyester materials, cotton cloth shrinks more easily during processing. If the zipper tape and the fabric are not sewn tight enough, the tape is likely to shrink and wrinkle.

3. Color fastness of cloth tape: After the cotton cloth tape is weakly dyed, the problem of fading or migration may occur.

4. Discoloration of metal parts: After the cotton fabric zipper is dyed, it is likely that discoloration or chemical reactions will cause the metal parts to discolor.

5. Zipper strength: The strength of cotton tape zipper is generally weaker than that of polyester tape zipper.

Therefore, purchasers should note that different processing methods will affect the appearance and strength of the zipper to varying degrees. Therefore, we recommend that you perform a sample test before mass production to determine whether the effect of the zipper product after treatment is satisfactory.

For consumers personally, the quality of cotton zippers is good, but we also need our daily protection to avoid problems such as shrinkage of the tape and affect the use of clothes or bags.
