Zbar is a revolutionary new concrete reinforcing steel (rebar) product that utilizes a patent pending dual-coating process. This process involves thermal bonding to conventional reinforcing steel (rebar), a zinc inner layer under a fusion-bonded powder outer layer. These dual layers serve as a redundant and powerful system against corrosion.

Zbar's outer layer acts as a first line of defense. If the coating is damaged through handling or placement, the zinc inner layer provides sacrificial protection against corrosion. If the damaged area to the outer powder layer is larger, Zbar’s zinc inner layer prevents sideways creep, localizing any corrosion.

ZBar is now compliant with ASTM A1055 specification. Click Here for Details
