Plastic zippers are fasteners made from synthetic materials, typically nylon or polyester. They consist of two strips of fabric with interlocking teeth and a slider that moves up and down to open or close the zipper. These zippers are lightweight, flexible, and resistant to corrosion, making them suitable for various applications, including clothing, bags, and outdoor gear. Unlike metal zippers, plastic zippers are less prone to rust and can be produced in a wide range of colors and sizes. They are commonly used in products like jackets, backpacks, and suitcases, providing a durable and functional solution for securing items.
