Fire‑Retardant Zippers for Professional Protective Gear

Fire‑retardant zippers are engineered to maintain closure integrity and resist ignition under high heat, making them a critical safety component in protective garments such as firefighter turnout gear, welding jackets, racing suits, and oilfield workwear.

Unlike ordinary zippers, they are designed to offer permanent flame resistance, high‑temperature stability, and reliable mechanical strength even after repeated use and cleaning.

Synthetic Flame Retardant Yarns We use yarn that is treated with flame retardant chemicals, which form a protective barrier when exposed to heat. This barrier inhibits combustion by promoting char formation, diluting flammable gases, or disrupting the flame chemistry.
Excellent Heat Resistance: We use high-performance engineering thermoplastic POM that maintains its structural integrity at elevated temperatures, making it suitable for environments exposed to heat.

Fire Retardant Zipper Types
Type	Construction	Fire-Retardant Method	Typical Use
Polyester Coil Zipper	FR yarn coil zipper, or regular coil zipper treated with fire-retardant solution	Fire-retardant yarn in the coil, or post-treatment with FR solution	Apparel and other applications needing a flexible zipper option
Plastic Molded Zipper	FR yarn + FR POM teeth	Both tape/yarn and molded teeth are made for flame resistance	Products that require a non-metal zipper component
Metal Zipper	Aramid fibre tape + metal teeth	Fire-retardant aramid tape combined with heat-resistant metal elements	Higher-heat protective applications and FR garments
