U.S. Developed Metal Antirust Paint

The US Department of Energy's Brookhave National Laboratory has developed a water-based paint that can be used to prevent metal from rusting. This coating is made of grains, crab shells, and lobster shells. It is harmless to humans and the environment. The basic ingredient of the paint is a substance called Chitosan extracted from the shell of crabs and lobsters. Since Chitosan is soluble in water and does not adhere well to metals, researchers have found a “green” material from the grain that has been combined to become dense, moisture-resistant and fully adherent to metals. On the product. After testing, the coating protects the metal from saltwater erosion twice as long as other coatings. Even in harsh geothermal environments, the coating can also protect the metal.
