Y-Teeth Zipper Wire FAQ
1. What tooth sizes do you offer for Y-teeth zipper wire?
We supply standard commercial #3, #4, #5, and #8 profiles. Custom cross-sections, head profiles, and groove dimensions can be custom-drawn to match your existing zipper punching tooling.
2. How does your non-magnetic zipper wire perform in garment needle detection?
Our FPD901 and FPD902 austenitic stainless steel grades undergo full solution annealing to completely suppress martensite transformation. They pass 8-level to 10-level Japanese NC-A98 needle detector calibrations without triggering false alarms.
3. What is the advantage of FPD726 composite copper zipper wire?
FPD726 features an outer copper/brass metallurgical layer bonded over an austenitic stainless steel core. It delivers the genuine warm visual finish of traditional brass zippers while providing superior structural tensile strength and saving 30%–40% in raw material cost.
4. What packaging options are available for automated production?
We provide DIN 200 and DIN 250 precision layer-wound plastic spools (15kg–25kg/spool) that ensure tangle-free feeding at up to 1,500 teeth/minute. Continuous jointless coils (50kg–100kg) are also available.
5. What is the MOQ and sample lead time?
Our standard production MOQ is 500 kg per specification. Trial sample spools (15kg–25kg) for tooling calibration and test-running on your punching machines can be dispatched within 3–5 working days.
