Vislon

Vislon is a type of zipper fastening system. It is characterized by its molded plastic teeth, which are interlocked by a slider mechanism. The teeth are typically made from acetal resin or polyester, offering durability and resistance to corrosion. Vislon zippers are often recognized by their slightly rounded, segmented appearance.

This design makes Vislon zippers suitable for a wide range of applications, particularly those exposed to moisture or harsh environmental conditions. They are commonly found on outerwear such as jackets and raincoats, as well as on luggage, tents, and bags. The plastic construction prevents rust, a common issue with metal zippers, and they tend to be lightweight.

Compared to metal zippers, Vislon zippers can be more flexible and less prone to snagging. They are also generally easier to clean. However, in some high-stress or very fine applications, metal zippers might be preferred for their perceived strength and slimmer profile. The manufacturing process for Vislon zippers involves molding the plastic teeth directly onto fabric tape, creating a strong bond.
