rust inhibitor
Metal decay blocker
A rust inhibitor is a chemical substance applied to metal surfaces to prevent or slow the formation of rust.
These compounds work by creating a protective barrier or by chemically interfering with the oxidation process that causes iron and steel to corrode.
Rust inhibitors appear in paints, coatings, lubricants, and additives for automotive cooling systems.
The mechanic recommended a rust inhibitor for the undercarriage before winter.
