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.
slime will collect on the stirring rod. Continue adding the borax solu-tion until most of the glueâwater mixture has turned into slime. Be careful not to add too much borax solution, or the slime will become too stiff. A good rule of thumb is to quit adding the borax solution when there is still a little glueâwater mixture left in the bottom of the
