Case Study: Advancing Zipper Performance for Fire-Resistant Gear

Client

  • A global supplier of turnout gear, wildland firefighting suits, and industrial FR coveralls.

Challenge

  • Gear had to meet NFPA 1971 and UL certification for flame resistance, radiant-heat exposure, and after-flame time.
  • Design needed to avoid added bulk or snag risk during rapid don/doff scenarios.

Solution

  • Developed a heat-treated brass tooth zipper system with a corrosion-resistant finish for bleach-laundered gear.
  • Introduced color-coded pullers to simplify rig-room inspections and reduce mismatches.
  • Certification samples passed UL testing on the first submission, eliminating resubmission delays.

Outcome

  • Customer released its new bunker-gear line three months ahead of schedule.
  • Distributor feedback cited a 30% reduction in zipper-related returns.
  • Compliance pedigree opened new international markets in the EU and Middle East.
