anti-corrosive

Stops metal decay

Anti-corrosive describes substances or treatments that prevent or resist corrosion—the gradual destruction of materials by chemical reaction, especially rust on metals.

An anti-corrosive coating protects steel from moisture.

Anti-corrosive paint shields ships and bridges from salt air.

As a noun, an anti-corrosive is the protective substance itself.
