Slimicide or antislime agent[1] is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial pesticide used to kill slime-producing microorganisms[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] such as algae,[1][3][6][7][8][10] bacteria,[1][2][3][4][6][7][10] fungi,[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][10] and slime molds.[11][12] One primary application domain is in the papermaking industry,[1][2][3][5][7][9] where it reduces the occurrence of paper holes and spots,[2][3][4] as well as protecting the machinery from odor,[2][3][4] clogs,[4] corrosion,[2][3][4] and breakdown. Slimicides come in variants effective in acidic and/or alkaline media,[2][3][4][5] in liquid or solid form,[4][5] and are based on chemicals such as aldehydes,[2][3][4][5] bromium or quaternary ammonium compounds,[9] and others.[9] Additional significant application areas for slimicides include industrial water recirculation systems[7] such as cooling towers,[3][6][8] fuel storage tanks and wells,[3][10] and in conjunction with fluids used for oil extraction.[3][5] In some application domains, slimicides may be formulated specifically to target slime molds.[11][12]
