Nylon zippers are widely used in clothing, luggage, tents, and other fields due to their durability, flexibility, and waterproof properties. Proper use of nylon zippers can not only extend their lifespan, but also ensure the smoothness and reliability of the zipper. Here are the correct ways to use nylon zippers:

1. Gently pull and slowly open: When opening or closing a nylon zipper, it should be pulled gently and slowly to avoid excessive force or rapid pulling, which may cause the zipper to get stuck or damaged.

2. Keep clean: Regularly clean the nylon zipper to remove dust, dirt, and foreign objects attached to the zipper. You can use a soft brush or cotton swab to gently wipe the zipper teeth and slide to ensure smooth sliding of the zipper.

3. Avoid moisture: Although nylon zippers have certain waterproof properties, prolonged exposure to humid environments can easily cause the zipper to rust or deform. After use, the zipper should be dried and stored in a dry and ventilated place.

4. Proper storage: When storing nylon zippers, avoid folding or squeezing them to prevent deformation or damage to the zipper. You can store the zipper flat or rolled up to ensure its natural state.

5. Regular lubrication: Nylon zippers may become less smooth due to friction after a period of use. An appropriate amount of lubricant (such as paraffin oil or specialized lubricant) can be applied to the zipper teeth and slide to reduce friction and improve the smoothness of the zipper.

6. Avoid overloading: Nylon zippers have a certain load-bearing capacity, so avoid hanging heavy items or overloading them to prevent zipper breakage or damage.
