Plastics Sample Pack

Product Code : LSK-CL-10239

Plastics Sample Pack (SKU LSK-CL-10239) brings together 12 novel and unusual plastics chosen to show how differently polymers can behave: some produce optical effects, some change when heated and some react with water. It helps science and design classes move beyond everyday bags and bottles when teaching polymers and materials. Based in Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies supplies the pack to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

Each plastic in the sample pack has its own row in the table. In short, the pack holds 12 novel and unusual plastics, including two-way mirror film, polymorph, shape memory polymer and hydrogel, chosen to show a range of properties such as optical effects, behaviour when heated and reaction with water, together with an accompanying leaflet.

Applications and Experiments for the Plastics Sample Pack

Students handle, heat, stretch and wet the samples to see how structure decides behaviour. Polymorph softens in hot water and can be reshaped, shape memory polymer returns to its set form on warming, and hydrogel swells with water, giving concrete examples for polymer lessons.

• Class 8 science (NCERT): synthetic fibres and plastics, and the properties that make plastics useful.
• Class 12 chemistry: polymers, with real examples of thermoplastic and responsive behaviour.
• Design and technology or materials lessons: choosing a plastic for a job by its properties.
• Introductory materials science in diploma and engineering courses.

For the heat tests, water can be warmed in Beakers Tall Form, with Spout on a Glass-Ceramic Heating Plate, with its temperature checked on a Glass Thermometer; handle hot water with care.

Standard Scope of Supply

One pack contains the 12 plastics, including the eleven materials named in the table, and an accompanying leaflet. Hot water and any means of warming the heat-responsive samples are not included; beakers, a heating plate and related material kits can be added to the same quotation.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

A single pack suits a teacher demonstration, while group work can use one per bench. Tell Science Lab Supplies how many you need and the quotation will give the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, along with any other school chemistry lab equipment in India you list.

Holding an Importer-Exporter Code as a registered exporter, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in the Philippines, Nepal, Bangladesh, Zambia, Rwanda and South Africa. Ask for a price by message on the contact page, or place the pack in the enquiry cart with other materials kits; school and college bids are covered on the lab tender page.

Frequently Asked Questions

What plastics are in the pack?
Twelve plastics, including two-way mirror film, live edge acrylic, smart image film, smart colours film, polymorph, neoprene foam, shape memory polymer, heatshrink tubing, PVC soft sheet, ecofilm and hydrogel.

What properties can students investigate?
The samples were chosen for optical effects, behaviour when heated and reaction with water, so students can compare transparency and reflection, reshaping on warming and swelling when wet.

Who supplies the Plastics Sample Pack?
The pack is supplied by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India; fabric, glass and density sample sets can be priced with it on the same quotation for a school or college.

Does anything come with the samples?
Yes. An accompanying leaflet is included with the 12 plastics. Equipment for warming or wetting the samples, such as beakers and a heating plate, is not included and can be quoted separately.

Related Materials, Density and Hardness Kits

Plastics are one part of a wider materials topic. These Chemistry Lab and Physics Lab items let students compare polymers with fabrics, glass, metals and woods by texture, density and hardness, and measure samples accurately, and all of them can go on one enquiry.

• Fabrics Sample Pack — swatches of linen, cotton, nylon, silk and more, each in a different colour, with a key card.
• Materials Kit — rectangular blocks for comparing the appearance, texture, feel, hardness and density of common substances.
• Physical Properties of Glass — forensic-science activity on the properties of glass, with a Teachers Manual and Student Guide.
• Density Cube Set — nine 25 mm cubes that include nylon, PVC and acrylic alongside metals and woods.
• Metal Density Cubes — six 20 mm cubes in brass, lead, copper, zinc, aluminium and iron.
• Hardness Tester Kit — drop-weight rig that punches an impact cone into a sample, with pre-cut copper, brass and aluminium samples.
• Caliper Vernier — plated steel caliper with a 0–12.5 cm x 0.1 mm scale for inside, outside and depth readings.
