Is zinc compatible with all materials?
The only materials with which zinc is not compatible in the case of direct contact are: • metals such as copper, brass, steel, cast iron and chrome • wood with an acid pH, for example: chestnut, oak, larch, birch, Douglas fir, and red cedar • cement and plaster • bitumen, even when not in direct contact but simply close to it. However, if precautions are taken to avoid direct contact, zinc can be used with all types of substructures.
