ABSTRACT
Aqueous acetone extract from bark of Rhizophora appiculata or locally known as bakau minyak was
tested for anti-corrosive properties by incorporating the powdered extract in wash primer formulation.
The anti-corrosive b~haviour of steel panels treated with water-based formulations was assessed
employing salt spray accelerated test (ASTM B 117) in comparison with the standard chromated wash
primer. The results indicated that the wash primer formulated solely with tannin as an anti-corrosive
agent showed significant anti-corrosive properties in reducing the corrosion of steel. However, the fully
tannin-based wash primer showed an inferior performance compared to the -s.aAaaili chromated primer.
On the other hand the superior performance of tannin-based wash primer had been achieved by a

• bark extracts seem to be related to the tannin which are capable of chelating with Fe3" giving a highly
stable, and insoluble ferric-tannate complexes. The tannin in the wash primer may act as Fe3"
scavengers that converts the ferric ions into ferric-tannate which inhibited the diffusion of dissolved
oxygen to underlying steel.

Common Sl....;:.; :-~ I'lrotected from corrosion principally by painting schemes in such applications as
manufacturing, structure Prol"';::~" and automobile fabrication. Paint life depends on various factors
such as the metallic substrate, the selecLco ;:,o;nting scheme and the paint-substrate inter-phase. In
automobile and manufacturing industries, where plain sted generally is painted, a wash primer coat is
typically used to increase the adher~nce and to impro'/~ the anticorrosive quality of painting films.
These prImers, known as r~aCtlOn prlmer~ ar~ rorrnul:m:u LJa~ilJIIJ willi ~llu.!l~llul il.. dl.jJ (1IJ1'04) and
zinc chromate (ZnCr04) in alcohol medium, where polyvinyl butyral participates as a ligand of the
reaction product [1].
Chromate based pigments have been used for lTIany years as anticorrosive pigments in -wash primers
and other alkyd and epoxy primers, In recent years, chromium, and especially chromates (hexavelant
chromium), have been found harmful. Chromates have been found to cause irritation of the respiratory
tract, produce ulcerations and perforalions of the nasal septum. and produce lung cancer in workers
employed in chromium manufacturing plants in West Germany and the United States [2J,
There have bee.n several investigations into alternative anticorrosive pigments, su~h as zinc
phosphates, barium metaborate and alkoxy titanates and ziconates, in alkyd reGin systems [3,4,]. A
Chromate-free wash primer based on a polyvinyl butral resin containing a combination of phosphate
and borate anticorrosives pigments,coloring pigments, alcohol solvents, and an organofunctional silane
has also been developed [2].
Due to its toxicity, chromates constitute a hazard and need to be replaced by more environmentally
acceptable corrosion inhibitors. In this sense a system containing tannins, a class of natural, non-toxic,
biodegradable organic compounds has been proposed [2,5]. The tannins were found to react with a
ferric cation to yield ferric-tannate, producing a film that inhibits further oxidation.
In this study, wash primers based on mangrove tannins have been formulated and the anticorrosive
properties have been investigated, leading to the development of chromate free wasil primer having
properties superior to·the chromated wash primers.
EXPERIMENTAL
The extraction of tannin from mangrove barks (Rhizophora appiculata) was carried out by total
immersion of finely ground barks (150 mesh) in 70% aqueous acetone for 72 hours at room
temperature. The solution was filtered using the Buchner apparatus and the acetone was removed under
reduced pressure at S 30°C The filtrate was then defatted with hexane and brown solids of tannins
were obtained after freeze-drying the aqueous solution. The freezed-dried tannin yielding 15-20% of
the dry barks was used for the wash primer formulation without further purification,
Wash primers ofa two component system were prepared as shown in Table 1. Part A (Formula 1-6)
and Part B were mixed in 4 : 1 ratio. A simple formulation of Formula 7 consisting of 20% (w/w)

Mild-steel panels approximately 7.0 em' x 13.0 em and 2.5 mm thick which had been mechanically
wire-broshed and abraded with aluminium oxide paper down to visual brightness and free of any
residual rust were used as exposure panels. The panels labeled BI - B6 (corresponding to formula 1-6)
were coated with wash primer at a dry film thickness of 10-15 j.Lm. The panels that were coated with
CGSB-I-GP-12l form,:la~ion were labeled as K, while panels labeled H were panels which were
coated with a formulation using zinc phosphate instead of zinc tetroxy chromate in the COSB-I-OP-
121 formula. Panels labeled F7 were coated with tannins rust converter of formula 7, and a steel panel
without any coating was included as a control. All panels were scratched with an X (5 cm in length)
excepf the F7 and the control panels. The panels were subjected to the salt spray accelerated tests
(ASTM B 117) for 24 hours, after which they were· removed from the chamber for evaluation of
general and scribe corrosion as described in Table 3[2]. The evaluations were conducted at 24 hour
intervals for the next 144 hours (6 days).

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
After 24 hours of exposure, all panels showed a minImum amount of rust being formed at the
scratched area while the rest of the surface remained clean except for the control panels that almost
rusted throughout the surface. A fair amount of rust formed on the F7 panel (rust converter) which
indicated that the rust converter exhibited a corrosion p'totection when compared to the c.ontrol panel.
After 48 hours of exposure, the F7 panel was mostly covered with rust indicating that the tannin rust
converter failed to retard further corrosion.
Figure 1 shows some photographs of high rated performances of formulated wash primers, while the
re~ults of the salt spray tests for panels 8 I -86, Hand K after 144 hours are presented in Figure 2. The
results indicated that wash primers of Formula 3, 5 and 6 containing zinc phosphate, zinc ph.osphate in

tannin alone (B6) did not greatly i;':jJiove the corrosion resistance as compared to the use of zinc
phosphate (B5). However the use of tannins in combination with zinc phosphate in the ratio of 1: 3
exhibited an inhibitive property superior to that of the chromat~d wash primers(B2 & K). This result is .
in agreement with the fact that tannin, when combined with phosphoric acid yielded a product more
acidic than the phosphoric acid itself. The acid constant of the product obtained by the reaction
between tannin and phosphoric acid was found to be equal to 4.0 x 10'z while the first acid constant for
phosphoric acid is 7.0 x lO,J. This association compound enhanced the adhesive strength of tannin in
steel [5]. . . .' .
Natural tannins are polyphenols of vegetal origin and the proximity of hydroxyl groups on the
aromatic rings makes them able to chelate iron ions. A rapid reaction was found to occur between rusty
iron and natural tannins. The transformation of rusty iron into the blue-black coating layer has been
attributed to the complexation of the polyphenolics moiety of the tannin to the iron oxides ·and
oxyhydroxides [7]. Although other complexation products undoubtedly formed, the ferric tannate
complex has been cited as the major product. Ferric tannate of dark blue colour are highly insoluble
and acts as a barrier layer on the metal surface [8].
The following corrosion inhibiting mechanism which was proposed when a reaction primer
formulated with pine tannins at pH 3.2 was used, further affirms the results obtained:
Fe + 3H+ + Y•. Oz = Fe3+ + 3/2 H20
Fe + 2H+ + Y:. O2 • Fez+ + HzO
Fez+ + Y. O2 + H+ = Fe3+ + 1'2 HzO
Tannin-OH + FeJ + = (Tannin-O- Fe3+r + H+
Tannin-20H + Fe]+ = (Tannin-20- Fe3+f + 2H+
Tannin-20H + (Tannin-20- Fe3+f=(Tannin-40- Fe3+)" ... 2H+

The iron tannates formed contained corrosion inhibitor characteristics. Tannate formation acidified
the reaction environment, making its reaction with clean or oxidized metallic substrate selfcatalyzed[9].

CONCLUSION
I. Mangrove tannins had shown a considerable anticorrosive property as a rust converter and wash
primer. The tannins based rust converter was not able to achieve a good corrosion protection in
aggressive environments for long periods of exposure.' It co~jd only be used for temporary
corrosion protection.
2. Wash primers based on tannins aione, exhibited a remarkable anticorrosive property. However it's
inhibitive performance was inferior with respect to the phosphate and chromate containing wash
primers.
3. Wash primers based on the combination of tarmins and zinc phosphates in the 1:3 ratio, showing.
superiority over the chromated and standard chromated wash primers, provided the best alternative
to formulating a chromate free wash primer_
4. The anticorrosive property of mangrove tannins indicated that it coulti be developed for future use
in the various corrosion protection areas'. .-
