Waterproof airtight zippers are specialized fastening devices designed to prevent the passage of water, air, and other external elements through the seam where they are installed. Unlike regular zippers:
- Waterproof: They keep water from seeping through.
- Airtight: They block the flow of air, preventing contamination or leakage.
They achieve this via unique materials (often rubber, coated plastics, or specifically designed textiles) and sealing technologies (like interlocking teeth coated with waterproof films or pressure-fit systems).
Are waterproof and airtight the same?
The main difference between them is that“waterproof” materials are completely impermeable to water, while”watertight “materials prevent water from entering under specific conditions. In terms of shipping containers, a waterproof container is built to withstand extreme wet weather conditions and even water submersion.
Does airtight mean no air?
If something’s airtight, it is completely sealed so that no air can get in or out.
