S stands for Spiral, Strength, Slender, Sliding, Superiority.
Opti Spiral Zips are manufactured using the unique 'S'-technology, the core of which is in only one weaving operation where high quality fibers are interwoven whilst inserting the spiral. This allows for a smaller slider, because the spiral lies flat on the textile tape and increases the strength of the zip.

Polymer spiral zips are usually made from polyester or polyamide (nylon). When using continuous chain on rolls in regular garment production (generally men’s trousers) polyamide spiral would be a better option, as it has the property of high elasticity, which is needed to make the two top ends of a zip even. Zips with polyester spiral are better suited to manufactures using ready-made or cut zips.
Prior to bulk production, Coats Opti recommends that tests and trials are carried out on all zip uses/applications in order to verify that the product meets end customer requirements and the demands of internal processing conditions. Coats Opti supports customers with advice on individual applications on request; if you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
