Aluminium has a natural coating of Aluminium oxide that prevents it from oxidizing (corroding). This layer forms as soon as the Aluminium is made and is impervious to oxygen and water and prevents further oxididation. Some acids and bases can dissolve this layer and then the Aluminum will corrode.

The chemical coating that stops aluminium from corroding?
Aluminium will corrode easily with salt water or water in the atmosphere. There are many ways to stop it corroding, one of which is painting it. Paint will provide some corrosion resistance but will not help a lot if it is going to be going through a lot of wear and tear, as the paint will be scraped off and leave no protection. Another method is to just let the aluminum be in contact with air and it will almost instantly form a very thin layer of Al2O3 which then allows very little corrosion to occur, and if the Al2O3 is somehow removed it will almost instantly reform to provide resistance again.
How effective is seal coating pavement against winter weathers?
Seal coating has been recorded to have saved owners up to $100,000 in repair costs over the life-time of their pavement. It works by creating a waterproof coating that stops water from penetrating the surface. This stops faults forming where cracks are expanded by freezing water.
Why do reindeers eat moss?
it contains a chemical that stops their body from freezing
What is a condition that occurs when a person stops using a medicine on which he or she has a chemical dependence?
Withdrawal
What is the name of the chemical that stops your heart and makes you dead for 15 minutes?
neurotoxin
What is the use of coating steel with tin?
It stops the steel from rusting by not letting oxygen or water touch the steel, as oxygen and water need to present for steel to rust.
Why would a chemical reaction stop?
Reactions stop because after time there are less reactants so the chemical reaction starts to slow down. As there are less and less reactants the chemical reaction gets slower and slower until it stops.
Why does a battery go dead?
coz the chemical reaction within the battery eventually stops
Does vinegar and baking soda create a big chemical reaction?
it makes a chemical reaction but not a big one. it just bubbles up and then stops.
What is the definition of galvanizing?
Its the process of hot dip coating steel or iron with zinc. This stops moisture from rusting the base metal. For more information on galvinizing, see the related link.
How does a physical barrier stop iron rusting?
Lets first look at the chemical formula for rust Fe + O --> FeO FeO, the product, is rust. By having a physical barrier, it prevents or stops the iron from coming into contact with oxygen thus stopping the reaction from taking place.
What is a substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction?
An inhibitor is a substance that slows down or stops a chemical reaction by interfering with the reaction process. This can be achieved by binding to the reactants, blocking active sites on enzymes, or changing the pH of the environment to make the reaction less favorable.
