Magnetic zipper

About this material

magnetic zipper

The starting points of this zipper magnetically attach, automatically align and lock into place. This makes it possible for people with disabilities, children, and others to close the zipper without effort. The zipper can be closed with one hand, and in winter, without taking your gloves off.

The zippers are availble for #5 Delrin (molded teeth), with an open end only.

The magnetic zipper was developed in collaboration with sports brand Under Armour and design firm DNS.
