Corrosion is currently a global problem of a worldwide scale. Combating it with corrosion inhibitors (CIs) is highly effective. At present, two million tons of CIs are produced annually across the globe. Corrosion inhibitors are used almost ubiquitously to protect metals. The internal combustion engines of automobiles are also protected from corrosion by CIs added to antifreeze. However, antifreezes are considered very toxic to the environment and human health. This presents a major problem in our era, as the number of cars increases daily and used antifreeze is discharged into the environment. The production of antifreezes that are non-toxic to the environment and human health is one of the most pressing challenges of our time. Naturally, this, in turn, creates the need to discover CIs that are harmless to the environment and human health. We have tested the inhibiting properties of a synthesized CI in our antifreeze, which is based on propylene glycol. To address these issues, the inhibitory properties of potassium adipate (the potassium salt of adipic acid) were studied using electrochemical methods. This was investigated for its use as a non-toxic corrosion inhibitor in a propylene glycol-based antifreeze, which itself is harmless to the environment and human health.
