antirust
Stops metal decay
Antirust describes substances or treatments that prevent rust from forming on metal surfaces: antirust coating, antirust spray.
The term functions as both adjective and noun—you can apply an antirust or use antirust paint.
It's interchangeable with rust-preventive but more compact.
