Bracchi's slime doesn't make any sense at all, actually. It's just some OP game mechanic that would backfire on Bracchi if it followed real world rules. IRL, if any compund that requires heat (which I'm saying right now is what Bracchi's slime is) to detonate is hit with a literal magma beam, I think it's gonna explode. Additional, if Bracchi does release a chemical that neutralized the blast, the chemical would have to be a liquid, which would probably mix in the with slime and go into a state of equalibrium to prevent it from exploding on his body. It can't ever explode if it does that, unless another factor is introduced, like maybe.....oh yeah, heat.

IMO Bracchi is just the most nonsensical and ridiculous monster in the game, barring Elder Dragons. I mean, even Yama can be explained.
