Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to discover natural compounds that function as an anti-rust solution. This can be achieved through the testing of divers redox reactions for the identification of potential solutions. The goal is that the product would promote environmentally friendly components that exceed what is currently found in non-rust solutions on today’s market. The use of natural substances in the experimentation process highlight the types of organic molecular makeups that would be at once durable and resistant corrosion is highly highly corrosive environments.
