Abstract

Inhibitors from natural materials are safe for the environment to replace chemical inhibitors in inhibiting corrosion. The tannin compounds contained in the Terminalia Catappa leaves extract have the ability to inhibit the corrosion rate. This study aims to determine the ability of Terminalia Catappa leaves extract and its synergism with KI in inhibiting the corrosion rate of mild steel metal. Mild steel that has been sanded and cleaned is then immersed in demineralized water. The immersion time was carried out in 3 variations which were 1, 3, and 5 hours. The weight-loss method is used to calculate the corrosion rate. The lowest corrosion rate was obtained at 0.0018 mmpy at immersion for an hour, and the concentration of inhibitor was 1250 ppm. The highest inhibition efficiency was obtained at 90% in immersion for an hour with a 1250 ppm inhibitor concentration.
