The teeth, also
known as elements, are the parts
on each side of a zipper that
mesh, or engage, with each other
when passed through the slider.
When the left and the right side
teeth are engaged they are called
chain.

The tape is manufactured exclusively
for zippers. It is usually made
of polyester, but depending on
use, synthetic fiber tape, vinyl
tape and cotton tape are also
available.
