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.
Glue and borax are a traditional combination for making heat-free slime; however, this method is not recommended for small children as they may decide it looks tasty. Borax is a detergent and may cause kids to get sick if eaten. Corn starch or powdered fiber recipes are a non-toxic alternative. Note any slime consumed in large quantities may cause a child to become sick. For this reason, it is important for an adult to monitor kids while making and playing with slime.
