The development of the global economy depends on its natural resources, production activities, and infrastructures that account for the exploitation, processing, and marketing of goods. Corrosion is affecting these infrastructures. Corrosion is something that is hoped to be avoided; however, it is not possible to change the fundamental laws of thermodynamics to completely stop the corrosion process because it cannot be created or destroyed 1 : However, it is possible to reduce its rate by employing various methods. the purpose of this research is to investigate the use of organic inhibitors (triazine derivatives) to reduce the rate of corrosion of mild steel in acidic media. To achieve this, triazine derivatives were synthesized and characterized using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LCMS). Their anti- corrosive effect on mild steel in 1M HCl was studied using gravimetric analysis and electrochemical methods. References 1. da Costa-Mattos, H.S., Bastos, I.N. and Gomes, J.A.C.P., 2008.
