Explanation
To zincify means to coat something with zinc metal so it doesn’t get damaged or spoiled by water or air. This is often done to iron or steel to make it stronger and last longer. For example, “They zincified the metal pipes to protect them from rain.” The process is common in construction and factories. By covering metal with zinc, it becomes shiny and resistant to water and air.
