Definitions

  • surfactants which are able to inhibit the colonization of surfaces by inhibiting the overall growth of the organisms in the target environment. Many surfactants, regardless of class, show some inhibition of bacterial growth when used at concentrations high enough to impede surface colonization.
  • the most well known class of surfactants which impart a measure of colonization resistance to submerged surfaces are the cationic quaternary amine surfactants, which also function as biocides.
  • nonionic and anionic surfactants can function in an analogous fashion.
  • the concentration of nonionic or anionic surfactants necessary to mediate toxicity is substantially higher than for cationic surfactants, however.
  • Surfactants have historically been added to biocide packages because they (1) help to maintain some actives in aqueous solution which may otherwise separate (formulation aids) and (2) help relatively hydrophobic biocides to be more miscible in an aqueous environment. Surfactants have also been considered as enhancers of the efficacy of biocides against biofilm-associated organisms by increasing the accessibility of the biocide to its cellular target.
  • bacteria attach to surfaces, metabolize and grow, resulting in biofilms or microbial slime. This can result in problems in cooling water systems, such as reduced heat exchanger efficiency, blockage of pipes, corrosion of equipment, and harboring of potentially harmful bacteria. Control of slime, including the prevention of formation of slime and/or removal of slime, is important in alleviating these problems.
