🔍 The Science Behind the Slime – Meet Borax!
Sodium tetraborate (borax) is a natural mineral with a rich history:
-
Used in ancient Egypt for metalworking and mummification
-
Travelled to Europe via the Silk Road in the 1300s
-
Today, found in everything from laundry products to bath bombs!
In our activator, borax is diluted into a safe 4% solution. When mixed with PVA glue, it causes cross-linking, turning runny glue into a stretchy, bouncy polymer – a.k.a. SLIME!
Despite some myths, borax is safe when used properly, and it’s an amazing way to explore real chemistry through hands-on play.
