Latex Rubber Sheet
Product Code : LSK-BL-10199
Latex Rubber Sheet (SKU LSK-BL-10199) is a translucent, natural-colour sheet measuring 1 m x 1 m with a thickness of 0.25 mm. It can be cut to size to make flexible membranes, for example the diaphragm of a bell-jar lung model, and for other pressure demonstrations in biology and physics classes. One sheet can provide pieces for several models. It is available from Science Lab Supplies in Ambala, India, for school labs, colleges, tender contractors and stockists.
Specifications
Size, thickness and appearance of the sheet are given row by row below. In short, it is a single square of translucent latex rubber in its natural colour, 1 m on each side and 0.25 mm thick, from which pieces can be cut for diaphragms and membranes.

Applications and Experiments for the Latex Rubber Sheet
Thin latex stretches and recovers, so a piece tied over the base of a jar or the mouth of a funnel becomes a flexible membrane that moves as pressure changes. That makes the sheet a practical material for respiration models and simple air-pressure demonstrations in school biology and physics labs.
- Class 7 and Class 10–11 biology (NCERT, breathing): the diaphragm of a home-built lung model, for example on a 150 mm Glass Bells with Corks.
- Replacing worn diaphragms on lung models, such as the one in the Kit for Experiments with Breathing.
- Physics demonstrations of air pressure, with a membrane stretched over a jar that bulges or dips as pressure changes.
- Comparing a hand-made diaphragm model with the powered rib-cage movement of the Functional Human Respiratory System Model.
Latex can cause allergic reactions in sensitive people, so anyone with a latex allergy should not handle the sheet.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Latex Rubber Sheet is supplied as one translucent, natural-colour sheet of 1 m x 1 m x 0.25 mm. It comes as a full sheet, so pieces are cut to size in the lab; rubber bands, string, jars and balloons are not included and can be quoted separately.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can request a quotation for one sheet or for several, for example to equip every group's lung model across a year group. Science Lab Supplies gives the packing, delivery time and price for that number, and lung model kits or bell jars can be added to the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies, as an Importer-Exporter Code holder, can ship to buyers in Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Malaysia. Ask for a price through the contact page, add the sheet to the enquiry cart with other consumables, or check the lab tender page for tender buying.
Frequently Asked Questions
How big is the Latex Rubber Sheet?
The sheet measures 1 m x 1 m, giving one square metre of material, and is 0.25 mm thick. It is translucent and natural in colour, so students can partly see through a membrane made from it.
What is the sheet used for in a biology lab?
Pieces cut from the sheet serve as the diaphragm of bell-jar lung models, as replacement membranes when an old diaphragm tears, and as flexible covers for simple air-pressure demonstrations in science classes.
Is it suitable for the Lung Model Demo Kit?
Yes. The Lung Model Demo Kit uses a latex rubber sheet attached to the bottom of its bell jar with a rubber band or string, so pieces cut from this sheet can serve as replacement diaphragms.
Who supplies the Latex Rubber Sheet?
Science Lab Supplies handles this consumable from Ambala, India, quoting single sheets or larger lots to schools, colleges and distributors along with the bell jars and rubber items that go with it.
Related Lung Models and Rubber Laboratory Items
The sheet works with lung models and bell jars and sits alongside the other rubber items a lab keeps, such as tubing, stoppers and clamps. These products from the Biology Lab, Chemistry Lab and physics ranges can be quoted together with it on one request.
- Lung Model Demo Kit — bell jar, single-hole bung, Y adapter, balloons and cable ties for a complete lung model.
- Human Lung Model in Bell Jar — pulling the diaphragm down lowers the pressure and the lungs expand.
- Human Lung Demonstration Model — transparent model with a thin rubber diaphragm at the bottom of the jar.
- Bell Jars — glass bell jar on a baseplate with tap, for use with a hand or electric vacuum pump.
- Rubber Tube (Laboratory) — heat-resistant natural rubber hose rated from -25 to +70 °C.
