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.
One of the most common ways to make slime is to combine liquid glue with water and a household chemical called borax. The photo on the left shows borax in its natural crystal form, which actually kind of reminds me of Superman's Fortress of Solitude.
