zinc phosphate--coating that serves as a vehicle to retain various
lubricants on the surface of wire or rod and protects the surfaces of
the tool and workpiece against damage during various steps in the
cold forming and extrusion process. It is also a coating used for
corrosion protection of finished fasteners.

zinc-plated--surface provided with usually thin electrochemical
deposit of zinc as a result of immersion in electrolytic bath or with
mechanical deposit of zinc as a result of peen coating. F 547, F16
zinc-rlch primer, n - - a primer for ferrous metals, incorporating zinc
dust at a concentration sufficient to make the dried film electrically
conductive thus providing cathodic protection to the ferrous
substrate.

zipper, n - - a slide fastener consisting of interlockable elements each
attached to one of the opposing edges of two tapes and a movable
part called a "slider" that spans the interlockable elements, which
when moved in one direction causes the elements on one tape to
interlock with the elements on the other tape, and when moved in
the opposite direction causes the elements to disengage. (Compare
continuousdement zipper and separate-element zipper.)
