We believe learning how to make slime shouldn’t be disappointing or frustrating. That’s why we want to take the guess work out of making slime.

SLIME SCIENCE

We always like to include a bit of homemade slime science around here! What’s slime science all about?

The borate ions in the slime activators (sodium borate, borax powder, or boric acid) mix with the PVA (polyvinyl acetate) glue and form this remarkable stretchy substance. This is called cross-linking!

The glue is a polymer of long, repeating, and identical strands or molecules. These molecules flow past one another, keeping the glue in a liquid state. Until…

You add the borate ions to the mixture,  and it then starts to connect these long strands. They begin to tangle and mix until the substance is less like the liquid you started with and thicker and rubbery like slime! Slime is a polymer.

Picture the difference between wet spaghetti and leftover spaghetti the next day. As the slime forms, the tangled molecule strands are much like a clump of spaghetti!

Is slime a liquid or solid? We call it a non-Newtonian fluid because it’s a bit of both!
