In the last issue we introduced the characteristics of heavy-duty zippers. Today we will learn several common situations that require heavy-duty zippers. Heavy duty zippers are usually classified according to their application, and there are many variations available on the market.

1. Waterproof Zippers

Water-resistant zippers (Waterproof Zipper), usually use special materials or technologies to make the zippers prevent rain from entering the fabric. Water Repellent Zippers are usually found on raincoats and waterproof bags.

2. Two-Way Zippers

Common examples of two-way zippers applications are on luggage and bags, as well as on some tents. The two-way zipper is a common application for heavy-duty zippers. This zipper can be opened from both ends of the zipper tape.

3. Separating Zippers

In separating zippers, the teeth are separated completely when the zipper is unzipped all the way. We commonly see this type of zipper on jackets and coats. Heavy-duty versions of separating zippers are also commonly used in astronaut suits, firefighter suits, and other similar applications.

4. Extra Long Zippers

Extra long zippers are usually defined for those with long length and are commonly found on sleeping bag and tents.

5. Self-mending/Self-Repairing Zippers

Self-repairing zippers can re-align their own teeth when they got stuck or misaligned, simply by opening and closing the zipper. As long as the teeth are not completely broken, they will be re-aligned.

6. Marine Zippers

Similar to water-resistant zippers, with additional protection from salt water corrosion. A common example of this application is a boat seat cover.
