316L stainless steel zippers

For boat covers, wetsuits, outdoor gear and anywhere salt and moisture destroy ordinary zippers. Sizes #3 to #10, custom lengths to 5 m, salt-spray tested per batch.

The problem with ordinary zippers

Most zipper failures in the field are not mechanical. They are corrosion. A nickel-plated or brass zipper on a boat cover will typically start to seize within one season of salt exposure — the teeth bind, the slider jams, and the customer blames the cover rather than the zipper.

316L stainless — the same grade used for surgical instruments and marine fittings — removes that failure mode. Molybdenum in the alloy resists chloride attack, so the teeth keep moving after years of exposure rather than months.

Where these are used

  • Boat covers, bimini tops and marine awnings
  • Yacht and marine upholstery
  • Wetsuits, drysuits and diving equipment
  • Outdoor gear — tents, covers, equipment bags
  • Dock and industrial protective covers
  • Chemical and washdown environments

Customisation

Size, chain length, slider type, puller shape, tape colour and laser-engraved logo are all specified per order. If you are unsure which size suits your application, send the dimensions of the opening and the load it carries — we will tell you which gauge to use rather than let you over- or under-specify.
