Abstract
Glue slime activator compositions, kits comprising glue slime activator compositions and a glue or adhesive of appropriate functionality for crosslinking, and methods of making glue slime activator compositions are provided herein.
Claims20
A slime activator composition, comprising:
- a borate ion containing/liberating compound, solution, or salt present in an amount of from about 0.005 percent, by weight, to about 5 percent, by weight or a phosphate ion containing/liberating compound, solution, or salt present in an amount of from about 0.005 percent, by weight, to 0.2 percent, by weight;
- a thickener comprising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or xanthan gum;
- and
- a buffer present in an amount effective to maintain a pH of the composition in a range of from about 8.7 to about 9.5,
- wherein the slime activator is configured to crosslink with a polyvinyl acetate-based glue, polyvinyl alcohol-based glue, or other polymeric glue/adhesive and thereby form a slime composition.

A method of making a slime activator composition, comprising:
- combining a borate ion containing/liberating compound, solution, or salt in an amount of from about 0.005 percent, by weight, to about 5 percent, by weight or a phosphate ion containing/liberating compound, solution, or salt in an amount of from about 0.005 percent, by weight, to 0.2 percent, by weight, with:
- a thickener comprising hydroxypropyl methylcellulose or xanthan gum;
- and
- a buffer in an amount effective to maintain a pH of the composition in a range of about 8.7 to about 9.5, to form a slime activator composition configured to crosslink with a polyvinyl acetate-based glue/adhesive, a polyvinyl alcohol-based glue/adhesive or another polymeric based glue/adhesive of appropriate functionality for crosslinking, and thereby form a slime composition.
