Borax - Sodium Tertraborate

[lab-woman]

Hi Everyone,

Do we all still use Borax?

The MSDS (Material safety data sheet) contains a strong warning "May damage fertility" or "cause harm to the unborn child" ??

I have teachers who wish to use it this time of year for "fun pracs".

I am concerned.

But do we all use it or not?

Thanks.

Yep, we still use it, although not recently.

We use it all the time for making slime.

we use it for slime, crystals, I've gone through a fair bit of it this year

Our students only use it now once we have made the solution, we don't give them the solid form.
