The riri range is comprised of products in all relevant zipper categories, as well as various high-tech zippers for very specific applications:


Metal zippers Metal, Simmetrica and Eloxal

The largest number of different designs is available in the category of metal zippers whose chain consists of polished metal teeth.

“Metal” - these are fasteners with a classic tooth shape, available in the chain widths of 4, 6, 8, 10 and 14 mm.

“Simmetrica” - these are refined metal fasteners with a symmetrical tooth shape. Ideal in particular for two-way zippers and leather goods. Available in 4, 6 and 8 mm chain widths.

“Eloxal” - fasteners made of aluminium. They are light-weight and can be supplied in multicoloured chains (Eloxal RIO). Available in 6 and 8 mm chain widths.

Different materials, finishes and chain widths mean that there is a virtually limitless number of options for a wide range of applications.

Example applications of metal zippers:
General clothing, leather goods, etc.

Visual enhancement through fine finishes

Benefits of the metal zippers: Largely heat-resistant, little abrasion on the chain, extremely tear-proof


Metal zippers “Solid”, “Top”

These riri specialities are manufactured from a zinc-tin alloy in a die-casting process.

Solid and Top fasteners are available in three different finishes - BL (natural zinc), BO (bonderised), and BOP (bonderised, brushed) - and in two chain widths: 6, 8 mm

Example applications of Solid and Top:
General clothing, leather goods, etc.

Visual enhancement through fine finishes

Benefits of the metal zippers: Largely heat-resistant, little abrasion on the chain, extremely tear-proof (Solid and Top cannot be shortened retroactively)


Plastic-toothed zippers “Decor”

riri-Decor - these are plastic-toothed fasteners that are manufactured in an injection-moulding process. Can be supplied in five different chain widths (4E, 6E, 8E, 10E and 14).

Normally Decor zippers are plain-coloured; the chain, slider and tape are all in the same colour. Alternatively, different metallic finishes or two-tone fasteners (Bicolor, different tape and chain) are available.

Example applications of Decor:
Sportswear, knitwear, sleeping bags

Decor 8E suitable for tents, tarpaulins, water sports

Benefits of Decor zippers: Moisture and sea water resistant. For applications in (sea) water, as an alternative to the standard metal sliders, special plastic sliders (SUB) are available. Low weight.


AquaZip - water-repellent plastic-toothed zippers

riri-AquaZip fasteners are plastic-toothed zippers, which are manufactured in an injection-moulding process and have a waterproof PU coating. Can be supplied in three different chain widths (4, 6 and 8 mm).

AquaZip fasteners are available in a plain-coloured or two-tone finish.

Example applications of AquaZip:
Outdoor


Coil zippers “Nylon” / “Flex”

Zippers with a coiled chain under the brand riri are manufactured in the Italian riri plant in Tirano.

In the retail product range they are listed under the name “Flex”; in the industry product range they are called “Nylon”. Available in the chain widths of 3, 4, 6 and 10 mm. In proportion to the respective width, the coil zippers have a very fine visual appearance. In contrast to the metal and plastic-toothed zippers, the chain of a coil zipper consists of a continuous plastic coil. Therefore this type of zipper is particularly suitable for applications involving curves. Coil zippers are very light-weight. Furthermore, coil fasteners are budget- priced and sold by metre, suitable for overstitching. This product range is currently being revised. Our customer service will be happy to provide information on the delivery options.

Example applications of Nylon / Flex:
Sportswear, cushions, bed linen, upholstery, sleeping bags
