Resin Zippers 101: Ultimate Guide for Garment Manufacturers & Designers

What Are Resin Zippers?

Resin zippers, crafted from high-grade polyoxymethylene (POM) polymer, feature:

3x higher tensile strength vs standard plastic zippers (up to 80N/cm)

Corrosion-resistant teeth ideal for marine apparel and outdoor gear

Colorfast stability maintaining vibrancy after 200+ wash cycles
