Prevent Rust Safely

A rust inhibitor is also known as a corrosion inhibitor, a chemical compound that decreases the corrosion rate of a metal or alloy. They are essential in regard to preventing rust in outboard motors and tools stored in a garage or shed over a long period of time.

Certain rust inhibitors, such as chromate, have proven to cause cancer in humans, which was the subject of the Hollywood movie Erin Brockovich. As a result, chromate has been banned from use in many products. Zinc oxide and nitrite are two other chemicals that have proven effective as corrosion inhibitors. Check the label before purchase of any corrosion inhibitor for your own safety.
