It was due to "rumours" that when some Panzers with Zims on were hit, Zims caught fire and completely wasted the tank even the shell didn't penetrate the hull. THat's why the Germans decided to stop applying Zims on from Sept 1944. However, they did conduct tests on this matter and proved it was only a rumour, but the order to stop Zims application was never readministered.
it was not so easy to produce and to apply to all the tanks in that rush and after all germans relied more to armour but in fact zimmerit was used till the end of the war. in the late period of the war there was just not need for it anymore. no tanks. no zimmerit. production concentrated on antitank weapons like the panzerfaust
