In classic slime formulations, sodium borate (Borax) or sodium tetraborate is used. When dissolved in water, sodium borate dissociates into sodium ions and borate ions. If a polymer is present like PVA, the borate ions interact with the polymer chains and form weak ionic bonds that make the solution thicker.
4. Stir until all of the Borax solution has disappeared. 5. Store the slime in a zip-lock bag for safekeeping. ADDITIONAL INFO PVA is used by the plastics industry to form surface coatings. Itâs also used to make artificial sponges and hoses, as well as lubricants and cleansers in the contact lens industry.
