With the trend for green technology, the study focused on utilizing a forgotten herb to produce an eco-friendly coating. or the kalmegh leaves extract (KLE) has been investigated for its abilities in retarding the corrosion process due to its excellent anti-oxidative and antimicrobial properties. Here, KLE was employed as a novel additive in coatings and formulations were made by varying its wt%: 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12. These were applied to stainless steel 316L immersed in seawater for up to 50 days. The samples were characterized and analyzed to measure effectiveness of inhibition of corrosion and microbial growth. The best concentration was revealed to be 6 wt% KLE; it exhibited the highest performance in improving the ionic resistance of the coating and reducing the growth of bacteria.
随着绿色技术的发展趋势，本研究专注于利用一种被遗忘的草药来生产环保型涂料。研究发现，由于其出色的抗氧化和抗菌性能，苦瓜叶提取物 (KLE) 具有延缓腐蚀过程的能力。在这里，KLE 被用作涂料中的新型添加剂，并通过改变其重量百分比（0、3、6、9 和 12）来制备配方。将这些配方应用于不锈钢 316L 并在海水中浸泡长达 50 天。对样品进行了特征分析，以测量其抑制腐蚀和微生物生长的效果。结果表明，最佳浓度为 6wt%的 KLE；它在提高涂层的离子电阻和减少细菌生长方面表现出最高的性能。
