The present work aims to study the aqueous cotton seeds extract as a natural inhibitor of the corrosion of mild steel in 1 mol L−1 HCl using gravimetric tests, potentiodynamic polarization curves, electrochemical impedance measurements and surface morphological analysis by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The aqueous cotton seed extract acted as a good corrosion inhibitor reaching an inhibition efficiency of 95.7% after 24 h of immersion for 800 mg L−1 inhibitor concentration. For the gravimetric tests varying the temperature, a decrease of the activation energy (Ea) was observed, suggesting a chemical adsorption on the surface of the metal. 400 mg L−1 of the high molecular weight fraction isolated from the total extract showed inhibition efficiency equal to 800 mg L−1 of the total extract, 97.3% and 94.2% from electrochemical impedance and polarization curves data, respectively, suggesting that the macromolecules present a fundamental participation in the inhibitive process.
