noncorrodible
Won't chemically degrade
Noncorrodible describes materials that resist corrosion—the gradual chemical breakdown caused by oxidation, moisture, or other environmental factors.
Stainless steel, certain plastics, and gold are noncorrodible or nearly so: noncorrodible pipes for the water supply, noncorrodible surgical instruments.
The term appears mainly in technical and engineering contexts.
