Zinc corrodes so rebar doesn't have to — but only if you design the system right. Christian Stone, Lead Material Scientist at CPT, breaks down galvanic and hybrid cathodic protection: why these systems dominate in the UK, US and Australia but barely exist in the DACH region, how the "halo effect" rescues patch repairs from future cracking, and why 20-year-old hybrid installations on the White Adder Bridge and a Thames pier have needed almost no maintenance. A deep technical conversation on zinc chemistry, polarization, and when impressed current still wins.
