Mild steel is one of the major materials used as a structural component in the construction of bridges, buildings, and oil platforms in the marine environment. The exposure of mild steel to different aggressive environments leads to corrosion, which is the main factor responsible for the failure of materials. Organic coatings employed to protect the metal surfaces function via three protective mechanisms, i.e., barrier resistance, inhibitive pigments, and adhesion. Nevertheless, it is certain that deterioration of coatings, caused by corrosion of substrates, blisters, and cathodic disbondment, occurs during the service. For this reason, the adhesion between coating and metal will be decreased, resulting in peeling. This hinders the coatings from providing the required protection to metals. Studies have been undertaken to ascertain the anticorrosion efficacy of biomass corrosion inhibitors (BCIs) for mild steel in a simulated drilling mud environment and also as anticorrosion coating additives. These non-toxic additives enhance anticorrosion characteristics by modifying the coating binder, pigment, and/or solvent. Selections from our findings show that the BCI exhibited comparable corrosion inhibition efficiency with the synthetic inhibitor. This short communication is basically about the use of BCI’s as a non-toxic additive capable of impeding the corrosion of mild steel.
