Waterproof No 5 Zipper 20 cm is a coated zipper intended for products that need improved resistance to water contact. The buying decision should consider more than zipper length. Zipper construction, end type, slider system, coated surface and the conditions of the finished product all affect suitability. Water-resistant construction should not be interpreted as a guarantee that the complete sewn product is fully waterproof.

What Should You Check?
The coated surface can improve protection against water contact, but seam construction, slider area and the design of the finished product also affect overall performance.
Length and End Type
Confirm the actual zipper length and whether the required construction is closed-end, open-end or another specific system. The wrong end type can make a correctly sized zipper unusable.
Applications
These zippers can be considered for outerwear, bags and technical textile products where a coated surface is preferred. Final suitability depends on the exact zipper construction and end use.
Before Ordering
- Measure the zipper opening.
- Confirm end type.
- Check slider direction and construction.
- Review the coated surface for the intended use.
- Test sewing and operation on a sample.
