anticorrosive

Prevents metal decay

Anticorrosive describes substances or coatings that prevent or resist corrosion—the gradual destruction of materials by chemical reaction with their environment.

An anticorrosive paint protects metal from rust; an anticorrosive treatment shields pipes from deterioration.

As a noun, an anticorrosive is any agent that provides such protection: Apply an anticorrosive before painting the hull.
