Product Overview

Y Type Zipper Wire (also known as preformed Y-teeth wire) is a specially profiled stainless steel wire used to create the interlocking teeth of metal zippers. Because zipper teeth are micro-pressed components, even the slightest deviation in the wire profile can lead to fastening failure or “jamming.”

At Jingzhou Metal, we offer a complete production chain from raw material melting to precision forming. Our Y-shaped wire features high-dimensional stability and profile accuracy, allowing manufacturers to achieve high yields in their stamping processes. Whether for luxury apparel or heavy-duty outdoor gear, our zipper wire ensures long-lasting performance and corrosion resistance.

Key Advantages

Unmatched Profile Accuracy: Our preformed Y-shape ensures that each stamped tooth fits perfectly, providing a smooth “fastening” experience for the end-user.
Non-Magnetic Compliance: The E300 series provides non-magnetic properties, essential for zippers in high-end clothing that must pass sensitive metal detectors.
Infrared Detection Precision: We utilize advanced real-time infrared monitoring during the rolling process to ensure zero run-out tolerance throughout an entire 1,200kg/month coil.
Superior Workability: Optimized alloying and continuous casting provide the ideal hardness and ductility for high-speed stamping without cracking or tooling wear.

FAQ

Q: What is the main difference between SS304 and E300 for zipper wire?
A: SS304 is the industrial standard for corrosion resistance. E300 is specifically designed for non-magnetic requirements, ensuring the final zipper passes through sensitive security scanners without interference.
A: Yes. While we offer standard 3#, 4#, and 5# sizes, we can customize the Y-profile dimensions (width/height) to match your specific micro-pressing tooling.
A: Yes, we offer a variety of lead-free alloys that comply with international environmental and safety regulations for the clothing industry.
A: Yes, we also manufacture X/H zipper stop wire, flat wire for pull tabs, and slider wire to provide a complete raw material solution for zipper production.
