4. Special Fabrics

When the fabric contains Dioctyl Phthalate (a type of plasticizer, hereinafter referred to as DOP), it is highly recommended to separate the teeth elements from the fabric with a sheet of paper in case any migration takes place between the DOP and the color film on the teeth surface.

Selection of Sliders

Opt for such sliders that go through spray painting or electrophoresis process.

Avoid selecting electroplated sliders as they feature rigid and rough inner cavity, which may damage the coating layer and cause it to fall off the zipper surface.

Cleaning

Take care the cleaning agents such as laundry detergents, DJW and the like don`t come into direct contact with the teeth elements in manufacturing, as they can cause the color film to peel off the teeth surface easily.

Ensure the chemical agents used for removing dirt, oil stain or rust when manufacturing garments or bags are not sprayed directly onto the Metal Accessories to save them from oxidation and discoloration.

Packaging

Don`t do the packaging unless the products have been completely dried after ironing.

Use breathable plastic bags to protect the coating layer against oxidation and discoloration and prevent it from corrosion and peeling off the zipper. Furthermore, plastic bags with breathability can also protect the metal accessories on the zipper from oxidization and discoloration and prevent the teeth elements from corrosion and coming off.

Storage

Store the items in a dry environment and avert any damp or corrosive environment.

Avert prolonged exposure to strong sunlight directly.
