Ingredient X
There is no ingredient X to be found—anywhere. Anywhere.
If ingredient X is a previously-unknown element, it certainly would have a very high [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}atomic number|{{#if:||atomic number}}]] and weight, and would most likely be [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}radioactive|{{#if:||radioactive}}]], with a very short [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}half-life|{{#if:||half-life}}]]. This may account for its rarity.
Nothing is known about the physical or chemical properties of ingredient X, except that it has something to do with corrostop.
Fiction
[edit]The Transformers cartoon
[edit]Corrostop could not be produced without ingredient X. The reason is not clear. Perceptor referred to it as a key [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}alloy|{{#if:||alloy}}]] element—which would imply it is a metal, and is used up in forming corrostop. Optimus Prime, however, called it a [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}catalyst|{{#if:||catalyst}}]], without being contradicted by his friendly neighbourhood science-bot. This would imply it was NOT used up in forming corrostop, but was lost in the reaction in some other way. One thing is certain: Cosmos and Blaster could not find any more of it, anywhere...leaving Earth the richest source of the substance in the universe. Cosmic Rust
