How and from what is the lizard made?

For the first time, the lime, or as it is also called "slime," was released by Mattel, which gained fame thanks to the Barbie dolls, in 1976.The main difference between this toy and the rest was its unusual gelatinous consistency. This raises interest and the question: what is the lisune made of?

The substance from which the lime is made belongs to non-Newtonian fluids. They are characterized by the manifestation of various properties, depending on the actions applied to them. Therefore, being in a calm state, the lick-bog spreads like a liquid.

The original toy, released by Mattel, consisted of guar gum, which is extracted from Indian guar plants. Today this substance is also sometimes used in the production of slimes. In addition, guar is used in the food industry and is a constituent of some stabilizers and thickeners. Along with guar gum, other alkaloids can be used in the manufacture of limes in factories.
