Fabrics Sample Pack (Product Code: SLE/CH/130) is a set of fabric swatches – linen, cotton, Thinsulate, Lycra, Gore-Tex, nylon, silk and Teflon-coated polycotton – held together by a tag, with every swatch in a different colour and a key card to identify each one. It puts real natural, synthetic and performance textiles into students’ hands for lessons on polymers, material properties and product design, making it a compact addition to any STEM science kit in India. The pack is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

The eight fabrics fall neatly into groups for classification: plant fibres (linen and cotton), an animal fibre (silk), synthetic polymers (nylon and the stretch fibre Lycra) and performance materials designed for a job – Gore-Tex for waterproof yet breathable clothing, Thinsulate for insulation and Teflon-coated polycotton for water and stain resistance. Students can drip water on each swatch, stretch it gently, feel its warmth and examine the weave under a magnifier, then link what they observe to the structure of the fibre and to where each fabric is used in everyday products.
Because the colours differ and the key card holds the answers, teachers can run the lesson as a blind identification challenge: groups name each swatch from its properties first, then check against the card. Schools that buy from a lab consumables supplier in India often keep one pack per bench group so that every student can handle the samples during the same lesson.
Fabrics Sample Pack is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, India. The company supplies schools and colleges with teaching resources, apparatus and consumables – our company profile has more information.

Which fabrics are in the pack?
Linen, cotton, Thinsulate, Lycra, Gore-Tex, nylon, silk and Teflon-coated polycotton – eight swatches in all, joined by a tag.
How do students know which swatch is which?
Each swatch is a different colour, and the included key card matches every colour to its fabric.
What size are the swatches?
Swatch dimensions are not stated in this listing. Please ask through our contact page if you need the size for planning tests.
Can the swatches be used for burn or chemical tests?
The pack works best as a reference set for handling and non-destructive tests such as water drops and stretching. For destructive tests, use separate offcuts under teacher supervision so the identified set stays complete.
Which subjects can use it?
Chemistry (natural and synthetic polymers), physics (insulation and waterproofing), design and technology, and home science or textiles courses.
Can we order packs for a whole class or for export?
Yes. We supply institutions in India and international markets; include code SLE/CH/130 and the number of packs in your enquiry.
