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. Science Lab Supplies dispatches it from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Specifications

The pack contains 12 plastics with an accompanying leaflet. Named materials include two-way mirror film, live edge acrylic, smart image and smart colours films, polymorph, neoprene foam, shape memory polymer, heatshrink tubing, PVC soft sheet, ecofilm and hydrogel, covering optical, thermal and water-related behaviour.

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.

Standard Scope of Supply

One pack contains the 12 plastics, including the materials named above, and an accompanying leaflet describing them. Hot water, a hairdryer or other means of warming the heat-responsive samples are not part of the pack; 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 usually needs 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. Send your list through the contact page or enquiry cart; the lab tender page covers tender orders.

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?
Science Lab Supplies supplies the pack from Ambala, India, and can quote it with fabric, glass and other material sample sets for schools and colleges.

Does the pack include teaching notes?
Yes. An accompanying leaflet comes with the samples to explain the materials in the pack.

Related Materials Study Kits

Plastics are one part of a wider materials topic. These four Chemistry Lab items let students compare polymers with fabrics, glass and other substances by texture, density and behaviour, and all can go on one enquiry.

• Fabrics Sample Pack — natural and synthetic fabrics for comparison.
• Materials Kit — blocks of common substances for feel, hardness and density.
• Physical Properties of Glass — contrasts glass with plastics.
• Density Cube Set — equal-size cubes for density comparison.
