The inhibition efficiency (IE) of Thiourea (TU) in controlling corrosion of carbon steel in sea water in the absence and presence of Zn 2+ has been evaluated by weight loss method. The formulation consisting of 200 ppm TU and 50 ppm Zn 2+ has 95% IE. A synergistic effect exists between TU and Zn 2+ . Synergism has been confirmed by Synergism parameter and F-Test. Influence of immersion period a...
