Chemistry Demonstration Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick (Product Code: SLE/CH/105) is a polymer chemistry demonstration kit used to make nylon and draw it out as a continuous rope in school and college chemistry lessons. It contains sufficient reagents for five demonstrations, with instructions, and produces Nylon 6-10, a synthetic polymer of high molecular weight built from up to millions of repeated chemical units. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside the reagents it offers as a lab chemicals supplier in India.

It is a vivid way to show polymerisation happening in real time. In the classic rope trick, two reagent solutions that do not mix are layered carefully in a beaker, and a film of polymer forms where they meet. Grip the film at the centre with forceps, lift it slowly and wind it onto a glass rod: fresh nylon keeps forming at the boundary, so a long rope can be drawn out while the class watches.
The name itself is a teaching point, because in Nylon 6-10 one monomer contributes six carbon atoms and the other ten to each repeating unit, which links neatly to lessons on condensation polymers. Follow the included instructions for quantities and the order of addition, wear goggles and gloves, work in a well-ventilated room and rinse the rope thoroughly before anyone handles it. Building the repeating unit with an organic molecular model set afterwards helps students connect what they saw to the structure of the chain.
The Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, India. It is one of the demonstration reagent kits the company sources for schools and colleges, and it can be quoted with the beakers, forceps and goggles needed to run it. Our company profile has further details.

How many demonstrations can I run with the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit?
The Chemistry Demonstration Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit contains sufficient reagents for five demonstrations, enough for a teacher to show the reaction to several classes or to repeat it when students revise polymers.
Are instructions provided?
Yes. Instructions are included with the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit; follow them for the quantities of each solution and the order in which the layers are added, because careful layering is what lets the rope form cleanly.
What does "6-10" mean?
In the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick, the name refers to the number of carbon atoms contributed by each of the two monomers that join to form the repeating unit of this nylon: six from one monomer and ten from the other.
Is it suitable for students to perform?
The Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit is designed as a demonstration. We recommend that a teacher runs it in a well-ventilated room, with students watching from a safe distance and everyone wearing eye protection.
What else do I need?
Apparatus such as a beaker, forceps and a glass rod is not listed as included with the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit, so have these ready or order them together with the kit from the related items above.
What is the shelf life of the reagents?
The shelf life of the Nylon 6-10 Rope Trick kit depends on the chemicals, their grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted, and store the reagents as the instructions direct.
