Nylon zippers, introduced in the mid-20th century, revolutionized the fastening industry with their flexibility and affordability. Made from polyamide resin, their coiled teeth are woven directly into the fabric tape, creating a lightweight and smooth-operating closure. Unlike metal counterparts, nylon zippers are resistant to rust and corrosion, making them ideal for wet environments like swimwear and outdoor gear. Their flexibility allows them to bend with the garment, enhancing comfort in clothing such as sportswear and children's apparel. Available in a wide range of colors and sizes, nylon zippers balance functionality with design versatility, becoming a staple in modern fashion and accessories.
