Anti Slime Agents

Slime formation in paper machines causes high costs.

Slime leads to formation of a bio-film causing :

• Slime lumps leading to holes in the paper and breaks in web.
• Sticking of valves and fittings causing operational problems.
• Contamination of heat exchanger surfaces leading to poor heat transmission.
• Corrosion
• Production breaks.

This requires the implementation of anti-slime agents. Typical anti-slime agents are bromium-, organic sulfur- and quaternary ammonium compounds, as well as aldehydes. The application of Ezochem’s Anti Slime Agents represents an environmentally friendly alternative to the currently implemented organic biocides and

• Prevents corrosive deposits and slimes.
• Maintains clean support wire and mist zones.
• Improves release behaviour of paper web.
• Ensures less frequent boil-out.
• Improves productivity through less breaks.
• Eliminates need for biocides completely.
