rust-proof
Immune to corrosion
Rust-proof describes materials or coatings that resist rust—the reddish corrosion that forms when iron or steel is exposed to moisture and air.
Stainless steel is naturally rust-proof; other metals are made rust-proof through galvanizing, painting, or chemical treatment.
The verb means to apply such protection: We rust-proofed the car before winter.
