SZIP Waterseal Waterproof plastic zipperApplications: Watersports clothing Tents, flexible covers Protective clothing for leisure, industrial applications Flexible containers for electronic instruments, documents, machines and apparatus for storage and transport Bags and backpacks for daily use and outdoor activities such as cycling, biking, sailing, hiking, climbing ...and various others. The technical principle The SZIP WaterSeal is made from a strong, plastic coil zipper on a high strength fabric. Every coil half is safely embedded and secured in a plastic profile. When the SZIP WaterSeal is closed the sealing lips above and below the coil are compressed making a perfect seal. The entire plastic profile is highly abrasion resistant. The unique design prevents the slider from wearing down the sealing lips when the zipper is opened or closed. The physical design of the SZIP WaterSeal increases the seal strength when the pressure is raised or when cross tension is applied. Both actions lead to an increased mechanical pressure on the top sealing lip. Tightness The SZIP WaterSeal is easy to operate, splash-water tight and very suitable for rain clothing. Heavy bending may cause leakage. Please try to avoid! Dirt or Sand The SZIP WaterSeal is highly resistant to damage caused by dirt or sand. However if dirt or sand are present, the zipper should be cleaned with soap and water. Dirt particles can affect the sealing function if they get caught between the chain profiles. If the SZIP WaterSeal closure is used to protect life or sensitive material, the sealing function and cleanness of the chain area should be double checked prior to every usage. Stability The SZIP WaterSeal´s performance in terms of strength and durability is outstanding. It can take weight, it is abrasion resistant and it will survive short term sharp bending and twisting without separating.
