Slime is a special play material made up of tangled polymer. It is mostly made by mixing polyvinyl with the chemical compound known as borate ions, you can describe it as a liquid and mix it in a sizable container for mixing. In a more difficult explanation, slime is more commonly known amongst scientists as a Non-Newtonian fluid. These are thick liquids that have a numerous selection of viscosity. Slime, has a different viscosity, based on the amount of strength you apply when playing with it. Slowly placing your hands on the slime is being described as a small amount of weight being applied to the slime, they will feel thin and water-like, letting you sink your hand into the jelly like substance. Punching it, or throwing it against a wall, …show more content…

When put together on a plate, the noodles then become a tangled mess. The mixtures of the polymer strands will give some viscosity, a cross-linking reactant, is also present in slime to give it the non-newtonian liquid behaviour. The tangled reactants are ions that help the polymer strands connect with weak ionic bonds for a limited time. These bonds, ironically, are strong enough to hold the polymer strands together, yet, but not strong enough to make the entire thing a …show more content…

Any word coloring will change the color of slime. Such as Galaxy Slime, you should add silver, purple, white, pink, and little bit of black. For your Galaxy Slime it is a colorful slime and one of the most fun slime. So have fun making it!
Think of slime as a playful object. You can tangle it, you can throw it, you can even eat it...actually don't do that. You may die. Slime has a lot of materials in it that can be or could be deadly. So when making Slime make sure to be careful. Elmer's Glue is a big brand right now. It is one of the key ingredients in slime glue. Glue is what makes the slime form together, without the glue slime would be nothing. Even on Elmer’s Glue website, they have Slime recipes on the front page! Also if you scroll down you get the same result, Slime, Slime, Slime! Borax, another one of slimes key ingredient! Borax is an important boron compound. Borax is made from composites from seasonal lakes. Borax is a made of little white crystals. Borax isn't only used for Slime. Borax is a detergent booster. So Borax is not safe for everybody, it will have different symptoms to different
