Why is fake slime cold?

Question

I have this rubbery turtle in some fake slime and I want to know why the fake slime is always as cold as if it's been refrigerated.

Answer 1

Fake slime may be Methylcellulose (or methyl cellulose) which is a chemical compound derived from cellulose. It is a hydrophilic white powder in pure form and dissolves in cold (but not in hot) water, forming a clear viscous solution or gel. It is sold under a variety of trade names and is used as a thickener and emulsifier in various food and cosmetic products, and also as a treatment of constipation. Like cellulose, it is not digestible, not toxic, and not allergenic.

Preparing a solution of methylcellulose with cold water is difficult however: as the powder comes into contact with water, a gluey layer forms around it, and the inside remains dry.

Methylcellulose dissolves in cold water because the polar hydroxyl groups are masked.

hence its cool..

hope this helps..

Answer 2

Something will feel cold if it can absorb the heat from your fingers.
Wood feel warm because it is a poor conductor of heat. The heat from your fingers warms the area you are touching and little more.
Metal feels cold because it is a good conductor of heat, and all the heat from your finger will warm up all of the object, not only the area you are touching.
That fake slime is most likely a good conductor of heat.
