Zipper Protection in Garment Wash
   
1. Color Change of Metal Zipper
 
   
a.
Zippers are made of Brass Alloy (including Nickel, Copper and Brass) When zippers are used on Metallic or woolen products, oxidation of the metal cause zipper teeth turn black. This phenomenon is resulted from the reaction between the metal zipper teeth and the chemical residue left on the surface of the products.
   
b.

Chemical reaction occurs in Metal zippers under acidic or alkaline solution. Special attention should be paid in garment wash. Chemical agents used in garment wash may cause oxidation of metal zippers. To prevent the unnecessary problems occur, it is recommended to do the own test before in order to ensure the selected zipper is suitable for your intended use.

   
c.
Rubber bands contain sulphide, which will oxidized the metal zipper teeth and cause the teeth turn black.
   
   
2. Color Fading Occur on Slider
   
 

Most zipper sliders are made of Zinc Alloy. Then they have to go through electro-plating or enamel paint process to get the required color of coating. The thin layer of coating would be peeled off or damaged under strong friction or collision.

To prevent such a damage, please avoid the slider and puller to collide or impact with hard surface especially during garment wash. Under tumbling force, the strong collision force would cause the slider coating peel off.

It is recommended to turn the garment inside out before washing, or to wrap up the sliders with fabric for protection purpose.

   
   
3. Slider or Puller Broken Occur After Garment Wash
   
 

Slider crampers and pullers have their standard of resistance to pull-off and twisting. When force applied exceeds the slider cramper and pullers could resist, the slider will be broken.

Occasionally, broken sliders were found after garment wash. The major reason of damage is the slider puller being inserted into the drain hole of washing drum during washing. Under strong tumbling force, the slider cramper and puller would be damaged.

To avoid this damage, it is recommended to perform the garment wash by zipping up the garment and turn inside out before wash, or using laundry bag during washing.
