Polypropylene Tiles (Product Code: SLE/P/18) are white spotting tiles used to carry out drop-scale colour tests and small reactions side by side in school and college chemistry and biology laboratories. Each tile measures 118 × 93 × 11 mm and has 12 cavities of 22 mm diameter, so a dozen samples or reagent combinations can be compared at once. They are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM lab equipment manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

A white spotting tile makes small colour changes easy to see. Students place a few drops of a test solution in each cavity and add an indicator or reagent, for example to test for starch with iodine, to compare the pH of household liquids with universal indicator, or to preview the end-point colour of a titration before the full run. Twelve cavities let a whole series of samples or concentrations be laid out in order, so results can be read and recorded at a glance.
Polypropylene tiles are lighter than ceramic spotting tiles and less likely to chip when handled by students. Rinse the cavities with water straight after use so coloured residues do not stain, and dry the tile before storing it. They make a compact addition to any chemistry teaching kit for schools in India.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures these polypropylene tiles as the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the tiles come straight from the maker, schools, colleges, dealers and importers can order classroom quantities and repeat batches without a middleman. Details on the company are on the ScienceLab profile.

How many cavities does the Polypropylene Tile have?
Each Polypropylene Tile (SLE/P/18) has 12 cavities, each 22 mm in diameter, set in a white tile measuring 118 × 93 × 11 mm. This lets students run a dozen drop tests side by side and compare colours directly.
Why are the Polypropylene Tiles white?
The Polypropylene Tiles are white because a white background shows faint colour changes clearly, such as the blue-black of starch with iodine or the shades of universal indicator. This makes results easier to read and record accurately.
Can the Polypropylene Tiles be heated?
No heat rating is given for the Polypropylene Tiles (SLE/P/18), so use them for room-temperature drop tests only and keep them away from burners and hot plates. For reactions that need heating, use a test tube or an evaporating dish instead.
How should polypropylene spotting tiles be cleaned?
Rinse the Polypropylene Tiles with water straight after use, using a soft brush or cloth for any residue, and let them dry before storage. Prompt rinsing stops coloured indicators and iodine from staining the white polypropylene surface.
Who manufactures the Polypropylene Tiles SLE/P/18?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, manufactures the Polypropylene Tiles (SLE/P/18) as the OEM at its own licensed factory in Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, supplying schools, colleges, dealers and importers directly.
What does a quotation for spotting tiles need?
