Inhibition Efficiency of 1-Butoxypropan-2-ol against the Corrosion of Mild Steel Exposed to Marine Environment: An Experimental and Microstructural Study

The pursuit of effective corrosion inhibition, both theoretically and experimentally, has a significant impact on the global GDP and climate-related actions in infrastructure management. This current study aims to explore the corrosion reduction and inhibition mechanisms of 1-butoxypropan-2-ol (C7H16O2) otherwise known as propylene glycol 1- monobutyl ether on mild steel coupons immersed in a marine solution containing 3.5 wt.
