Fabrics Sample Pack

Product Code : LSK-CL-10258

Fabrics Sample Pack (SKU LSK-CL-10258) is a set of fabric swatches covering natural fibres, synthetics and performance textiles, held together by a tag with a key card for identification. Students handle, compare and test the swatches in lessons on fibres, materials and fabric properties, and in forensic fibre-evidence activities. Science Lab Supplies ships the pack from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The pack contains eight swatches: linen, cotton, Lycra, Gore-Tex, nylon, Thinsulate, silk and Teflon-coated polycotton. Each swatch is a different colour, and the key card included in the pack matches colour to fabric, so students can check their identifications after testing.

Applications and Experiments for the Fabrics Sample Pack

The swatches give a class real material to test instead of pictures. Students can compare feel, stretch, water resistance, warmth and burning behaviour, then relate each result to whether the fibre is natural or synthetic and to the uses of each fabric in clothing and outdoor gear.

• Middle school science: natural and synthetic fibres, from plant and animal sources to nylon.
• Chemistry of polymers: comparing synthetic fibres and coated fabrics.
• Forensic science: comparing fibre evidence with reference samples.
• Design and technology or textile courses: choosing fabrics for a purpose.

Burn tests on fabrics should be done only on tiny snippets, with tongs over a heatproof tile, under teacher supervision.

Standard Scope of Supply

One pack holds the eight colour-coded fabric swatches listed above, joined by a tag, plus a key card naming each fabric. No other test materials are included; tongs, lenses or water droppers for property tests can be quoted separately.

Packing, MOQ and Lead Time

Ask for one pack for the teacher's desk or a pack per group. Every quotation shows packing, delivery time and price for your chosen quantity, and matching material samples from our school laboratory equipment range can be combined on it.

Under its Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship as a registered exporter to buyers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines, Nepal and Bangladesh.
