Expert Commentary
Defines the Top Stop Holding Strength of zippers. Figure 3 details the fixture used to pull the slider against the top stops until they fail or the slider pulls off. The engineering challenge is the small-scale gripping. MTO provides a specialized stop-catch plate with various slot widths to accommodate different chain sizes. High-resolution load cells (typically 1kN) are mandatory to capture the exact peak force, ensuring the zipper remains functional under over-extension loads common in heavy-duty outerwear and luggage.
