Effect of tannin from rhizophora apiculate as corrosion inhibitor for epoxy paint on mild steel
There is a great concern to protect the steel surfaces from corrosion phenomenon in seawater environment. Several approaches have been proposed to introduce alternative new compounds in the paint which are green sources that can reduce environmental risks. The aim of this investigation was to enhanc...

| Summary: | There is a great concern to protect the steel surfaces from corrosion phenomenon in seawater environment. Several approaches have been proposed to introduce alternative new compounds in the paint which are green sources that can reduce environmental risks. The aim of this investigation was to enhance the protection properties of epoxy paint by providing an anticorrosive inhibitor for the paint. In this approach, the abilities of mangrove tannins, extracted from Rhizophora apiculata bark were studied. The inhibitive properties of mangrove tannins were evaluated by weight loss measurement, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results shows the addition of mangrove tannin in the coating boosted the anticorrosive properties of the paint and represents valuable environmentally friendly of inhibitor. |
