(c) Colour dyeing
In the case of nylon zipper chains, the completed zipper chain itself will be sent to undergo
colour dyeing processes, whereas only the raw fabric tape will be sent for colour dyeing for
plastic and metal zipper chains. Colour dyeing is carried out in accordance with the colour
swatches and specifications provided by our customers in order to achieve the desired
effect. Such processes are outsourced to third party dyeing factories
(c) Electro-plating / Spray painting
Further processing works comprise either electro-plating or spray painting. Spray painting
provides a non-metallic coating for the zipper sliders and is usually carried out in-house as
we have the necessary spray painting facilities. Electro-plating, on the other hand, is the
process where a metallic coating is applied onto the zipper slider for purposes of providing
decorative finishes. As we do not have the necessary electro-plating machinery, we usually
outsource electro-plating works to third parties. Upon completion of electro-plating
procedures, the electro-plated zipper sliders will be sent back to our factories in Jinjiang
City.
