The ethanolic extract of Flueggea leucopyrus was used as corrosion inhibitor on carbon steel in acidic medium. The phyto constituents, antimicrobial activity and GC-MS analyses were carried out for the plant extract. The anticorrosion property of Flueggea leucopyrus was determined by weight loss method, for various concentrations of the extract with Zn2+ ion and tartaric acid, citric acid and lactic acid were used as additives in 0.5M HCl medium. The resistive film that protects the surface of the metal was confirmed the spectral studies such as FTIR, UV-Visible and fluorescence spectra. The film formation is also confirmed by the surface morphology studies such as SEM and EDAX analysis. It also shows the formation of complex between the metal cation, additives and the compounds present in the extract of Flueggea leucopyrus.
