E-Z Zipper & Snap Lubricant

E-Z Zipper & Snap Lubricant (1.5 oz Tube)

Keep zippers and snaps working smoothly with E-Z Zipper & Snap Lubricant. Designed to prevent corrosion and reduce friction on metal fasteners, this lubricant helps extend the life of zippers and snaps that see frequent use in outdoor environments. It's a practical maintenance item for teams who want fewer stuck zippers, fewer broken snaps, and cleaner operation during installs, service calls, and seasonal storage.

Unlike many fastener products, this formula does not rely on silicone or Teflon. It's engineered to waterproof and lubricate while staying where you apply it. Once in place, it won't rinse away and won't dissipate in hot weather, making it a dependable option for gear that lives outside, travels in trucks, or cycles through repeated setup and teardown.

Why Fastener Maintenance Matters

Zippers and snaps fail in predictable ways: corrosion, grit buildup, and friction wear. When fasteners start binding, operators pull harder - which can lead to separated zipper tracks, broken sliders, torn fabric around the zipper tape, or snapped hardware. A small amount of routine lubrication can reduce friction and help fasteners operate smoothly, which protects both the hardware and the surrounding material.

Regular maintenance is especially important for equipment that's exposed to moisture, rain, condensation, road spray, or storage in humid conditions. A lubricant that stays put and resists washout helps keep fasteners functional across the full season.

Key Benefits

• Prevents corrosion: Helps protect metal fasteners from rust and oxidation.
• Reduces friction: Supports smoother operation on zippers and snaps.
• Waterproofs fasteners: Adds moisture resistance where fasteners are most vulnerable.
• No silicone or Teflon: Formulated without common slick additives.
• Stays in place: Won't rinse away after application.
• Heat stable: Won't dissipate in hot weather.

Best Uses

• Metal zippers that bind, stick, or feel gritty
• Snaps that are hard to open/close or show early corrosion
• Equipment exposed to moisture, rain, or humid storage conditions
• Seasonal maintenance before peak use and prior to storage

How to Apply

For best results, apply the lubricant directly to the fastener hardware and work it through the mechanism.

Application Tips

• Clean first if needed: Wipe away dirt, grit, or residue before applying.
• Apply sparingly: A small amount goes a long way - focus on contact points.
• Work the fastener: Zip and unzip (or snap/unsnap) several times to distribute evenly.
• Reapply as part of routine maintenance: Especially after heavy use or prolonged wet exposure.
