Cashew nut oil and its derivatives have been known for producing effective corrosion inhibitors. Cashew nut
oil phenoxy carboxylic acetic acid derivative has been tested as a corrosion inhibitor for mild steel in 3%
aqueous NaCl solution using weight loss method. It was found that cashew nut oil phenoxy carboxylic acetic
acid derivative reduces the electrochemical processes taking place on mild steel undergoing corrosion to a
great extent. This indicates that Cashew nut oil is a potential corrosion inhibitor for mild steels in aqueous
solutions.

5. CONCLUSION
Electrochemical corrosion on metallic material is
the common anxiety of engineers, especially
chemical and process engineers. Environment
concern is a very important aspect. So, eco-friendly
corrosion inhibitor is the best choice for protection
of metallic materials. The application of cashew nut
is not so wide, yet with more work it can be the
future hope of process engineers.
