The Sun... the sea... the beach... the corrosion

All the reasons that make it great to live near the coast also make it a perfect environment for corrosion. Today’s modern high rise buildings require sophisticated engineering and, when concrete is involved, a significant amount of reinforcing steel. Buildings located near a coastal environment and constructed of concrete and reinforcing steel have more challenges in dealing with corrosion especially because concrete always cracks. Now there is another solution to these challenges that is not only highly effective at corrosion protection but also affordable.

 
Zbar has been evaluated per ASTM A944, is readily available and can be substituted for any reinforcing steel product.
Competitive initial cost and long-life make Zbar the most versatile and economical method of protecting steelwork that goes into your bridge project.
Initial accelerated lab testing points to an estimated 100 year life span.
