by the Smithsonian (1991). During the past ten years, IDEAL has
expanded its worldwide presence by opening numerous international
production facilities and sales offices.

Throughout our history we have had one goal: to make IDEAL

TYPES OF SLIDERS

CHOOSING THE IDEAL ZIPPER


The application of the zipper determines the slider design which
should be used. Sliders are made from zinc or brass and plated or
enameled to fit any design need. They have various locking functions
as described here and are categorized by size, composition and
locking function.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Type/Function?
Does the zipper need a closed end such as in a skirt or an open end
for outerwear applications?

Does it need to be a 2-way separator, often used in jackets, or head


to head as used in luggage?

Which slider mechanism will be optimal and what type of pull will
be best for the application?

The Look?
Is fashion or function the primary consideration? Should the zipper
be invisible, prominent, or in a matched or accented color.

Plastic or Metal?
Is weight or appearance a consideration? Where will it be used?
For example, outdoor applications may require plastic for its ability
to withstand the elements. Metal may be preferred in traditional
applications such as pants and denim.

How will it be Used?


Depending on the type of application, the primary question might
be durability. What stress factors will the zipper be exposed to? Will
it be subject to heavy lateral forces, abrasion, moisture, chemicals
or heat?

ZIPPERS FOR CHILDREN

Depending on the age of the child, considerations include safety,


durability and fabric weight. Safety is of paramount concern at IDEAL
so we make all of our zippers lead free. In addition all separators
are rigorously designed to ensure that they easily pass the single
side top stop test. This ensures that the slider will not come off and
become a potential choking hazard to a young child.

Features available for children's


zippers include:

For young children our

We provide a large
selection of Zipper pulls
that meet ASTM F963 Torque
Test, in all sizes.
Key Considerations
• Safety
• Color
• Comfort

Design Tips
• When possible use a larger
slider pull so that young
hands (or parents) can easily
grasp and use the zipper.

CARE & PRECAUTIONS

IDEAL REFERENCE & ORDERING


Aluminum Aluminum zippers can oxidize in alkaline or acid washes, which can result in corrosion of the
Zippers aluminum parts and hard zipping. Aluminum zippers are not recommended for garments which
will be subjected to washes which will oxidize the metal.

Cleaning Any washing or cleaning involving strong alkaline detergents or chlorine bleaching agents
must be handled with care. This type of wash can result in discoloration of the tape, teeth
or slider. Always test before washing.

Color It is quite common for color to migrate onto polyvinyl chloride, polyurethane, synthetic
Migration leather and plastic coated fabric due to the reaction between the fabric and the zipper tape or
coils. It is suggested that fabric be inserted between these materials and the zipper.

GARMENT Garment washing can forcibly open zippers which may damage the teeth or the slider’s locking
Washing pin. Garments should be zipped fully closed and the waistband button secured.

Industrial Chemical or industrial washes may react with metal zipper teeth causing them to change color.
Washing Users must test a sample garment in a chemical wash to ensure that the zipper can endure the
wash without an undesirable effect.

Ironing A heated iron should never directly contact zipper teeth. It is advisable to have the zipper
covered by a piece of cloth when ironing. Always iron with the zipper closed.

Metal Zippers: ≤150­ºC


Polyester Coil (Nylon) Zippers: ≤150­ºC
Delrin Zippers: ≤130­ºC

Note: When ironing, check the heat - resistance of the zipper, then place cloth over the zipper.

Staining Some metal zippers made of copper alloy may turn black and stain the fabric due to alloy
oxidization. After industrial washing, the garment must be thoroughly rinsed and then dried to
avoid oxidization.

ZIPPER Zippers should be closed (zipped together) before measuring.


LENGTH Closed End: Measure the zipper from the top of the top stops to the bottom of the bottom stops.
Open End: Measure the zipper from the top of the top stops to the bottom edge of the
reinforced zipper tape.
Two Way Separator: Measure the zipper from the top of the top stops to the bottom edge of the
reinforced zipper tape.

LENGTH TOLERANCE
Zipper Length Tolerance
≤30 CM ±0.4 CM
30 CM-60 CM ±0.8 CM
