Practical experiments performed by KIMAB have shown that zinc copes very well even in chloride-containing environments. Up to 1.5 wt. % chloride in the concrete leads to negligible corrosion of the galvanized rebar. Conversely, unprotected reinforced steel had difficulty to cope with this chloride concentration and was corroded.
