Final University of South Florida Research Report Available Now
A. Sagues, Ph.D., of the University of South Florida has conducted tests and research on mechanistic issues on corrosion performance of dual polymer-zinc coated rebar. The study examined:
- Stability of the polymer-zinc substrate bond in the concrete environment
- Resistance to crevice corrosion upon coating disbondment
- Extent of cathodic reaction that may support corrosion macrocells
- Extent of beneficial galvanic action that may be provided by the zinc coating

See ZBAR in Use
ZBAR has been used by commercial builders, state departments of transportation (DOTs), the military and others to economically reinforce concrete structures for an estimated 100-year design life. ZBAR is maintenance-free and comparable to stainless steel...at a fraction of the cost.

About ZBAR
ZBAR is a premium, high-performance reinforcing steel product that is ideal for use in harsh environments with high risk for corrosion, such as marine applications or where deicing salts are used.
Applications for ZBAR can include:
- Transportation infrastructure (bridges, roadways)
- Military infrastructure (naval piers, buildings, levees)
- Commercial construction (hotels, condominiums, parking garages)
- Institutional construction (universities, hospitals, transit stations)
- Public facilities (museums, theme parks)
- Other (seawalls, spillways, pre-cast concrete products)
