Abstract:This study investigated the efficiency of the natural anticorrosive coating of propolis extract (PE) on CA-50 carbon steel in a solution that simulates the liquid phase of the concrete pore condition, called cement extract (CE). Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses of the propolis extract identified inhibitory functional groups, with Artepillin C (3,5-diprenyl-4-hydroxycinnamic acid) being the predominant component present in the propolis extract (PE).
