Abstract
Menthol has been studied as volatile corrosion inhibitor for the temporary
protection of mild steel in HCl environment. Inhibition property of menthol impregnated
craft paper was gravimetrically evaluated in 100% relative humidity (RH) at 40±1 ºC by
a continuous condensation method. Electrochemical studies such as Tafel polarization
and AC impedance were carried out by thin layer technique using an atmospheric corrosion
monitor. It has been found from the results that the inhibition efficiency of menthol
increases with an increase in the concentration of menthol from 250 mg/sq.ft to 1,000
mg/sq. ft. The adsorption behavior of menthol on mild steel surface was found to obey
Temkin's adsorption isotherm.
