A chemical compound formed when chlorine combines with zinc and another element, used in some electroplating and surface treatment processes.
From chloro- (chlorine) plus zinc plus -ate (suffix for salts and compounds), a compound containing zinc chloride bonded to other elements.
Chlorozincate solutions are used to prepare metal surfaces before electroplating—they work by creating a microscopically roughened surface that helps metal coatings stick better, like chemical sandpaper.
