Various zipper such as Metal Zipper, Brass Zipper, Custom Brass Metal Zipper, Invisible Zipper, etc., are important essential accessories for clothing. do you know? In the process of ironing our clothes, if not handled properly, it is likely that the zipper cannot be used normally. This necessarily affects the use of clothing, so we understand the characteristics of the zipper and pay special attention when ironing.

The adverse effects of incorrect ironing methods on the zipper are as follows.

Before ironing, we need to put a cloth between the zipper and the fabric, otherwise the oxide layer of the metal zipper will stain the light-colored fabric to which they are attached.

Zippers will go through a certain level of shrinkage in the ironing process. This is normal phenomenon. However, these zippers will arch if they are subjected to high-temperature ironing and their teeth will soften and get out of shape.

The protective layer on the surface of the metal zipper teeth / elements will melt in high temperature environment and may stain the fabric.

The reflective strip of reflective coil zippers will get wrinkled when heated if it comes into direct contact with the iron and is subjected to such high temperature that exceeds 100℃.

The waterproof membrane of waterproof zippers will melt/bubble and break/fall off when it is subjected to direct ironing and such high temperature that exceeds 150℃.

Direct contact with the spray painted zipper sliders when ironing will cause their painting layer to peel off.

Direct contact with the electroplated zipper sliders when ironing will bring damage to the protective layer on the surface and cause it to fall off and blanch.

Ironing close to the zipper sliders will cause them to break due to the excessive ironing pressure applied.

To avoid this situation, we will provide a few useful suggestions:The heat resistance of different types of zippers may be different, and the ironing temperature varies depending on the materials made. Control the temperature when ironing to prevent excessive heat. Ironing with the right amount of heat is not limited to zippers, but also for zipper accessories.
