The electrochemical behavior of zinc in strong alkaline solutions containing 8.5 M of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and polymeric organic inhibitors was evaluated. The concentrations of the organic inhibitors studies were in the range of 400-4000 ppm and included polyethylene glycol (PEG), with a molecular weight of 600, and polyoxyethylen alkyl phosphate ester acid form (GAFAC RA600). The electrochemical studies included anodic, cathodic, and linear polarization along with potentiostatic studies. It was found that the inhibition properties of PEG, in the strong alkaline solution, are by far much more efficient than the inhibition capability of GAFAC RA600. Surface analysis obtained with the use of high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM) revealed different morphology characteristic developed at the zinc surface in the presence of the two inhibitors. A methodology employing electrochemical tests is proposed to quickly and conveniently evaluate inhibitors for Zn in alkaline media. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
