Abstract
The inhibition behavior of metol (N-methyl-p-aminophenol sulphate) on zinc in different corrosive solutions at room temperature was investigated by various techniques such as weight loss, polarization and linear polarization methods. The percentage inhibition efficiencies were evaluated at different concentrations of the inhibitors. The corrosion rate, inhibition efficiency and surface coverage were dependent on metol concentration. The electrochemical data indicated a basic modification of zinc surface resulting in a decrease in the corrosion rate. Corrosion inhibition was explained by considering an interaction between metal surface and the inhibitor. SEM images and FT-IR profiles confirmed the formation of passive film on the metal surface.
