(54) Fastener product made of hydrolysis-resistent synthetic resin


(57) In a fastener product made of a synthetic resin such as a slide fastener, a separable fastener and a snap tape comprising an attachment part and an engagement part, at least the engagement part is made of a hydrolysis-resistant synthetic resin. Preferably, the hydrolysis-resistant synthetic resin is polyester having a carbodiimide-based hydrolytic stabilizing agent incorporated therein. In a slide fastener (1-1c) having a pair of fastener tapes (3-3i) and coupling elements (4-4i) fixed to the longitudinal edges of the fastener tapes, they are made of a hydrolysis-resistant synthetic resin material. When the slide fastener further comprises upper and lower stop members (7, 8), a pin-and-box separator (10), a pair of reinforcing sheet-like members (9), sewing threads (21) and core cords (20), they are made of the hydrolysis-resistant synthetic resin material.
