Most of our daily clothing has zippers. If you pay attention, you will see Metal Jeans Zipper, Invisible Zipper, Water Repellent Zipper, Plastic Teeth Zipper and many other types. In the process of using the zipper, sometimes we encounter some small troubles, how to solve it?

1. What should I pay attention to when using a zipper?

(1) Do not use excessive force when pulling the slider;

(2) When using the cannula and socket, intentionally insert the cannula into the bottom end of the inner cavity of the socket before pulling the slider;

(3) For the zipper on the bag, if there are too many things loaded, if the zipper is pulled hard when closing the zipper, the zipper will be stressed too much, which will cause the teeth to detach from the belt. After passing easily, close the zipper slowly.

2. When opening and closing the zipper, sometimes the chain bit will bite the string or cloth and the slider will not move. What should I do?

In this case, if you pull the slider forcibly, it will bite deeper and deeper. On the one hand, you should reverse the slider and on the other hand unfasten the fabric. When biting in completely, don't pull the slider vigorously, please move the slider back slowly.

3. What should I do if the card is blocked?

If the card is blocked when pulling the zipper, pull the slider back a certain distance and then pull the zipper forward. Do not pull hard. Otherwise, the chain will skew and fall off.

4. What should I do if the opening and closing is not smooth when using a zipper?

If you pull the slider forcibly, it will cause sprocket meshing failure. At this time, use paraffin or lubricating spray to coat the surface and the inside of the element, and then move the slider several times to loosen it.

5. What should I pay attention to when washing clothes with zipper?

When washing clothes, the zipper should be closed. This is the best condition of the zipper when washing. This not only prolongs the life of the zipper, but also reduces the wear of the inner wall of the washing machine.

6. What should I do if the zipper is stuck on the fabric and the zipper plate is broken or the zipper cannot be closed?

Use one hand to pull the jammed cloth to both sides and pull it to the back. Use the other hand to pull the chain head and pull forward. Do not use too much force to prevent the pull plate from breaking, and then return the zipper to its original state. In addition, when sewing, you must ensure the amount of space for the zipper tape so that the zipper head can be used smoothly.

7. What should I pay attention to for zipper for leather or wool products?

Copper alloy zippers used for leather products or wool need to be antirusted before being combined with leather products or wool.

8. If the dark zippers and light-colored clothes are put together, the problem of color transfer printing and dyeing is likely to occur. How to solve it?

When the dark zipper and the light-colored main material are sealed and stored in the same polyethylene packaging bag, paper should be used to separate the zipper from the main material to avoid this situation.
