Slide fastener and method of manufacturing attachment having constituent members

Abstract

An object of the present invention is to provide, through plating, a slide fastener which has high decorativeness, and which does not have problems in terms of functionality or product quality such as corrosion resistance. Another object is to provide a method of manufacturing an attachment having constituent members. In a slide fastener in which a large number of elements are mounted on an edge of a pair of mutually facing slide fastener tapes, each of the elements has a facing surface where elements face one another in a longitudinal direction of the slide fastener tapes, and a surface other than the facing surface, a coating is formed through electroless plating on the facing surface, and a coating is formed through electrolytic plating on the surface other than the facing surface. The coating on the surface other than the facing surface is made to be a single-layer or multi-layer coating selected from Sn, Cu—Sn alloy, Cu—Sn—Zn alloy, Rh, Pd, and Cu plating, and the coating on the facing surface is Sn plating.
