    HYDROLYSIS PROTECTION NOW AVAILABLE FOR ALL TIZIP ZIPPERS

    The unique hydrolysis protection is now available for all zippers made by TIZIP: The MasterSeal series (#10 and #6), the SuperSeal and WaterSeal. It’s a redefinition of what’s possible. Designed for professionals. Perfected for everyone.

    WE BELIEVED THERE HAD TO BE A BETTER WAY.

    For decades, even the most advanced waterproof & airtight zippers carried the same Achilles’ heel – the aging of the TPU coating.

    After years of development, testing, and refinement, TIZIP achieved what no one else had: IPX8-rated waterproof zippers featuring an improved TPU formula and production processing that effectively prevent the common aging issues, ensuring long-term durability and reliability.

    In applications where TPU-coated waterproof zippers are exposed to constant moisture, the unique hydrolysis protection provides a significant advantage over short-lived products made with conventional materials and processes.

  • THE NEXT MASTERSEAL #6 GENERATION

    A breakthrough in performance & effortless operation ­
    ­ ­ ­
    ­After more than three years of intensive development and innovation, TIZIP is proud to unveil the latest advancement in zipper technology: the completely new engineered MasterSeal #6. The new MasterSeal #6 is the culmination of revised manufacturing processes and materials, redesigned precision teeth, and improved slider and stop geometries.

    Designed for superior performance, this next-generation zipper sets new industry benchmarks in sealing capability, durability, and ease of use.

    ENHANCED
    WATERPROOF &
    AIRTIGHT

    ­The new MasterSeal #6 provides improved sealing performance over its predecessor, ensuring exceptional protection against the elements – even in the most extreme environments.

    UNMATCHED

    RESISTANCE

    With a significant increase in mechanical strength, the new MasterSeal #6 guarantees reliable performance over thousands of operating cycles, eliminating slider derailment and twisted teeth – even on finished goods with curved installations.

    EFFORTLESS
    SLIDER
    OPERATION

    The new MasterSeal #6 is designed to enhance the user experience, particularly for high-performance outdoor and protective apparel, and not just in addition to bags and pouches. Its smart design ensures smooth, effortless operation that closely matches traditional water-repellent zippers, while offering an impressive IPX8 waterproof rating. This makes it the perfect solution for high-end jackets, pants and other outdoor gear that combines functionality with superior protection.

    HYDROLYSIS PROTECTED SUPERSEAL

    Based on the outstanding durability results of the MasterSeal #10 with hydrolysis-protected material, this enhanced material has now been introduced for the SuperSeal as well.

    Since the SuperSeal is TPU-coated only on the front side, it is even more critical to eliminate aging effects, especially when the textile backside may not dried after use. As with the MasterSeal, the hydrolysis-protected SuperSeal material can be welded to TPU-coated fabrics. However, PVC is not chemically compatible for direct welding with the hydrolysis-protected zipper. In such cases, PVC must be glued to the hydrolysis-protected zipper material, or alternatively, an intermediate TPU layer can be used for the welding process. Furthermore, the new  TPU formula improves the high-frequency (HF) welding process on TPU-coated fabrics, requiring lower power and shorter weld times.

    The hydrolysis protection represents a major milestone in advancing the durability and operational performance of TIZIP’s waterproof and airtight zippers.

    Orders and inquiries received during this time will be attended to after January 7th. Therefore, we would like to encourage you to place your orders for your next waterproof & airtight projects in good time, so we can match your needs with the upcoming holiday season.

    Thank you & stay safe!

  • HYDROLYSIS PROTECTED MASTERSEAL

    The aging behavior of TPU-coated, waterproof zippers has been a significant focus of TIZIP’s product development for decades.

    It has been mostly analyzed that TPU coating material failure, characterized by swelling, cracks, or delamination, is caused by aging (moisture, temperature, microorganisms, etc.), known as hydrolytic degradation processes. Despite various handling precautions contributing significantly to minimizing hydrolytic degradation, TIZIP has now developed a optimized TPU coating material that eliminates the typical aging behavior of TPU-coated zippers in the long term.

    Especially in the watersports & diving sector, where waterproof zippers are exposed to constant moisture, the new MasterSeal #10 hydrolysis protection represents a significant advantage compared to conventional, short-lived products.

    Q-STRAP OPTIMIZATION

    As a running change, the material of the Q-Strap has been optimized in order to further improve the overall performance and quality starting March 13, 2024. The new Q-Strap tape is covered also on the edges avoiding fibers sticking out and provides an adjusted shore hardness and length. Due to the improved material and geometry of the Q-Strap, the position has been slightly adaped  from 82,5 mm to to 100 mm.

    BE AWARE OF COUNTERFEITS

    Reliable products with an outstanding quality level are the key priorities of our TIZIP brand. That’s why we are constantly working on innovative ideas and technical improvements to further enhance the already outstanding quality and durability level of our waterproof and airtight premium TIZIP zippers – 100% made in Germany.

    Unfortunately, TIZIP has learned that products falsely claiming to be made by TIZIP or with imitation TIZIP labels are currently being distributed in many areas around the world. Counterfeit products fall short of TIZIP‘s quality standards, and could possibly cause a customer’s product to malfunction as well as cause serious safety issues. Be advised that TIZIP is not responsible for any malfunction or damages that may occur as a result of the use of counterfeit products and that products purchased outside of TIZIP’s authorized or trusted sales channels are not warranted by TIZIP or supported in any way.

    We therefore urge that, in order to avoid purchasing counterfeit products, customers only purchase genuine TIZIP products directly from TIZIP’s headquarter in Germany, through TIZIP’s authorized distributors or trusted sources.

    If you are unsure whether your next purchase order consists of genuine TIZIP zippers, please have also a deeper lock at the characteristic trademarks of TIZIP zippers listed on our website.

  • MASTERSEAL 1,0 BAR (14.5 PSI)

    Waterproof zippers play a vital role in outdoor gear, marine equipment, and other applications where moisture protection is paramount. To perform effectively, a quality waterproof zipper must be airtight, resistant to water, and capable of withstanding exposure to salt and harsh chemicals that can cause material degradation.

    Selecting the right waterproof zipper involves balancing factors such as durability, ease of use, and cost. While some zippers may come at a higher price point, they often provide enhanced longevity and superior performance in extreme conditions. The specific demands of your project or activity—whether for recreational or professional use—should guide your choice, as different scenarios may call for varying levels of protection and functionality.

    For those facing the most rigorous requirements and heavy-duty professional use, an innovative high-performance solution has arrived:
