Rust Race Lab Investigation
Product Code : LSK-CL-10257
Rust Race Lab Investigation (SKU LSK-CL-10257) is a class activity on corrosion in which students test metals for rusting, measure the oxygen consumed as metal corrodes and compare how well different rust inhibitors work. Along the way it introduces oxidation-reduction reactions. It is sized for a class of 40 students. Science Lab Supplies supplies the investigation from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The investigation is organised as a set of linked experiments for 40 students: corrosion tests on metals, measurement of oxygen use during corrosion, hands-on redox reactions and a comparison of rust inhibitors. The component list for the kit is confirmed on the quotation.

Applications and Experiments for the Rust Race Lab Investigation
The kit turns rusting, a change pupils see every day, into measurable chemistry. Students set up samples, track which metals corrode and how fast, link the loss of oxygen to the reaction, and then judge which inhibitor protects the metal most effectively, building evidence-based conclusions.
- Class 7 science: rusting of iron as a chemical change and ways to prevent it.
- Class 10 chemistry: corrosion, oxidation and reduction.
- Senior secondary chemistry: redox reactions and protection of metals.
- Engineering and ITI foundation courses: why metal parts corrode and how coatings or inhibitors help.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Rust Race Lab Investigation is supplied as one class kit for 40 students, with its contents set out on the quotation. Shelf life depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
One kit covers a full class, and schools with several sections can ask for more. Your quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for that number of kits, and related metals or labware from our school chemistry lab equipment in India can be added.
Science Lab Supplies holds an Importer-Exporter Code and, as a registered exporter, can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. The quickest routes are the contact page and the enquiry cart; for formal bids, see our lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many students does the Rust Race Lab Investigation serve?
It is designed for a class size of 40 students, so one kit usually covers a full section working in small groups.
What will students learn from this corrosion kit?
They test metals for corrosion, measure oxygen consumption as metals corrode, carry out oxidation-reduction reactions and compare how effective different rust inhibitors are.
Who supplies the Rust Race Lab Investigation?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from its base in Ambala, India, and sends quotations straight to schools, colleges and tender contractors.
What safety steps should the class follow?
Treat all test solutions and inhibitors as laboratory chemicals: wear eye protection and gloves, work under teacher supervision and follow your school's disposal rules.
