Success of Ferrocement, as with other construction material, depends largely upon its durability. ACI-549R strongly recommends that studies be undertaken to suggest durable and long-term anti-corrosion techniques to prevent penetration of water and salts that could lead to the corrosion of reinforcing wire mesh. The main objective of this study is to develop a durable Ferrocement panel by incorporating corrosion inhibitors as admixtures. The inhibitor used is sodium nitrate based inhibitor. Totally 24 Ferrocement panels are subjected to strength and durability study to ascertain the influence of inhibitor modification in cement mortar. Inhibitor admixed mortar offers marginally improved resistance against water absorption irrespective of tested dosage levels as compared to control mortar. There is a appreciable reduction in current development in the order of 18% for inhibitor admixed mortar as compared to control mortar, which is an indication of improved resistance against chloride penetration. Half-cell potential readings on galvanized Ferrocement panels should not be interpreted for corrosion probability as per ASTM C876. Ferrocement panels with crimped wire mesh and inhibitor
