Slimicide(orantislime agent)[1]is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial pesticide used to killslime-producing microorganismssuch asalgae,bacteria,fungi,andslime molds.[2][3]One primary application domain is in thepapermakingindustry, where it reduces the occurrence of paper holes and spots,[4][5]as well as protecting the machinery from odor,[4][6]clogs,[6]corrosion,[4][6]and breakdown. Slimicides come in variants effective inacidicand/oralkalinemedia,[4][5]in liquid or solid form,[6][7]and are based on chemicals such asaldehydes,[4]bromiumorquaternary ammonium compounds,[8]and others.[8]Additional significant application areas for slimicides include industrial water recirculation systems[9]such as cooling towers,[5]fuel storage tanks and wells,[5][10]and in conjunction with fluids used for oil extraction.[5][7]In some application domains, slimicides may be formulated specifically to target slime molds.[2][3]
