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.
Safety Considerations. Borax is not intended for consumption and make sure to wash your hands thoroughly after handling the slime. The slime may develop mold in a few days so you will need to dispose of the slime. Adding a few drops of Lysol or Febreeze might help with the life of the slime.
