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.
Another option is to make slime without borax. 8-year-old Redford and 12-year-old Russell made one slime that uses liquid laundry detergent, glue, water and baking soda. If you think your child is having a reaction to slime or its ingredients call your pediatrician or Poison Control at (800) 222-1222.
