SEALING

TEST PROCEDURE

TIZIP® zippers are tested for quality and water and air tightness. The tests are done randomly based on specific testing procedures.

  • Adjusting of the zipper between water- & air pressure chamber (width: 30 mm; length: 240 mm)
  • Filling of upper chamber with distilled water (height of water level above zipper: 15 mm)
  • Applying of air pressure ΔP (air) based on the specific guaranteed zipper type performance
  • Duration of pressure applying period: 15 seconds

SEALING LEVEL

The level of air  & water tightness not only depend on the zipper type (MasterSeal, SuperSeal, WaterSeal, RingSeal) and but also on the zipper configuration.

When it comes to extreme requirements with heavy professional use, the MasterSeal #10 with polymer slider is the world’s first 1,0 bar (14 PSI) water  & airtight polymer zipper.

TEST DEVICE

INFLATABLES – DID YOU KNOW?

When comparing different types of inflatable tyres, it is clear that the maximum possible air pressure depends on the geometry and volume of the tyre. With this in mind, it is necessary to physically calculate whether TIZIP’s guaranteed zipper airtightness is suitable for your specific application. If you need any help, your TIZIP team will be happy to assist you.
