Silly Putty

Silly Putty is a soft, rubbery substance that can stretch, bounce, and pick up images from newspaper ink. Made primarily from silicone polymers, it has unique elastic properties—allowing it to deform under pressure and then return to its original shape. Its ability to gently lift ink or print images is due to its sticky, flexible surface. Silly Putty is non-toxic and fun to manipulate, making it popular as a toy and stress reliever. Its combination of elasticity and adhesion is a result of the special chemical structure of the silicone-based material.
