Product Details
The MH #5 open end auto lock nylon zipper is a separating nylon coil zipper with a polyester tape and an auto-lock slider that holds its position once the puller is released. The open-end base lets both halves part completely, which is what jackets, hoodies, fleece and sportswear need.
Standard lengths for the #5 separating nylon zipper run from 25 cm to 80 cm. Longer cuts for tents, sleeping bags and boat covers are made to order.

Product Benefits
Buyers check three things on a #5 separating zipper: that it parts cleanly, that it stays closed, and that it runs smoothly for the life of the garment.
Fully separating base
The open-end base lets both halves part completely, so jackets, hoodies and fleece open all the way and are easy to put on and take off.
Auto-lock holding power
The auto-lock slider holds its position once the puller is released, so outerwear does not creep open while it is being worn.
Light, smooth nylon coil
Nylon coil teeth on a polyester tape stay light and flexible and run cleanly across fabric and outdoor gear. Dyeing is azo-free, with colour fastness up to grade 4.

Where the #5 open end zipper is used
#5 is the mid-weight nylon coil size: strong enough for outerwear and outdoor gear, light enough for knitwear and sportswear. The open-end base is what garments that open all the way require.
Jackets and coats
Ski jackets, down jackets, duffle and leather coats that open fully down the front.
Hoodies and sweatshirts
Full-zip hoodies and sweatshirts, where a light, flexible coil sits comfortably on knit fabric.
Fleece and sportswear
Fleece jackets, track tops and training suits that need an auto-lock slider to stay closed during wear.
Children's outerwear and uniforms
Kids' jackets and uniform tops, where a smooth-running coil keeps the zipper easy to use.
Sleeping bags
Separating zippers in longer cuts let sleeping bags open flat.
Tents and boat covers
Longer made-to-order lengths for camping tents, boat covers and outdoor covers.
