The difference between nylon zipper and resin zipper

Nylon zippers and resin zippers have significant differences in multiple aspects, and the following is a detailed comparison: 12

1. Material and craftsmanship
Nylon zipper: It is mainly made of nylon and wrapped around the centerline by heating and molding, with high mechanical strength, good toughness, and wear resistance.
Resin zipper: The main component is resin (such as polyoxymethylene POM), which is made through injection molding, die-casting and other processes. The chain teeth have high hardness and wear resistance.
2. Performance comparison
Wear resistance: Resin zippers have better wear resistance, while nylon zippers are slightly inferior in terms of wear resistance. However, with the continuous development of nylon materials, their wear resistance has also been improved.
Flexibility: Nylon zippers have a certain degree of flexibility and perform well in bending, stretching, and other aspects; Resin zippers have relatively poor flexibility, but they perform well in terms of deformation and fracture resistance.
Temperature resistance: Both have good temperature resistance. Resin zippers can generally withstand temperatures from -50 ℃ to 100 ℃, while nylon zippers can withstand temperatures from -40 ℃ to 120 ℃.
Environmental friendliness: The production process of resin zippers may produce small amounts of harmful substances, while the production process of nylon zippers is relatively environmentally friendly.
3. Price and cost-effectiveness
The price of resin zippers is usually lower, while the price of nylon zippers is relatively higher. However, in terms of overall cost-effectiveness, nylon zippers may have more advantages due to their good flexibility, wear resistance, and temperature resistance.
4. Application Fields
Resin zipper: Due to its high hardness and wear resistance, it is widely used in various clothing, bags, shoes and other products that require strong pulling strength.
Nylon zipper: suitable for various outdoor sports equipment, special clothing, tents, sleeping bags and other fields that require high performance. Due to its lightweight, softness and easy maintenance, it is more convenient and comfortable for daily use.
In summary, nylon zippers and resin zippers each have their own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of zipper depends on the specific application scenario and requirements. If high wear resistance and load-bearing capacity are required, resin zippers may be a better choice; If we value the lightness, softness, and ease of maintenance of zippers more, nylon zippers are more suitable.
