New Research Confirms ZBAR’s Superior Performance

Research results recently released by the Virginia Transportation Research Council (VTRC) and Virginia Tech (VT) confirm that ZBAR exceeds the ASTM and ACI bond strength requirements and outperforms many other corrosion-resistant rebar (CRR).

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)
