V.S. Traditional Brass Metal Zipper

A metal zipper made with stainless steel teeth offers several advantages over traditional brass zippers. Stainless steel is an alloy that contains chromium, which forms an invisible and adherent layer of chromium oxide on the surface, making it highly resistant to corrosion and rust. This property ensures that stainless steel zipper teeth maintain their smooth operation and appearance after wash, where brass zippers may tarnish or corrode over time.

High Corrosion Resistant + Light Weight

Moreover, stainless steel is a relatively lightweight material compared to brass. While brass offers good durability, it is a denser and heavier metal. Stainless steel zippers are more lightweight, making them preferable for applications where weight is a consideration, such as in outdoor gear and clothing.
