UNS Z21210 (Zn-0.08Pb) Rolled Zinc

Z21210 zinc is an otherwise-unclassified alloy of zinc. Z21210 is the UNS number for this material. Zn-0.08Pb is the common industry name. It has a fairly high density among the zinc alloys in the database.

The properties of Z21210 zinc include two common variations. This page shows summary ranges across both of them. For more specific values, follow the links immediately below. The graph bars on the material properties cards further below compare Z21210 zinc to other zinc alloys (top) and the entire database (bottom). A full bar means this is the highest value in the relevant set. A half-full bar means it's 50% of the highest, and so on.
