anti-corrosion
Stops metal decay
Anti-corrosion describes measures, treatments, or materials that prevent or slow the deterioration of metal surfaces from rust, oxidation, or chemical reaction: anti-corrosion coating, anti-corrosion paint.
The term appears most often in manufacturing, automotive, and marine contexts where metal parts face exposure to moisture or harsh environments.
