Heat Sensitive Paper (Product Code: SLE/PHY/188) is a thermochromic paper used to show temperature differences as colour changes in school science lessons on heat, insulation and body temperature. Each pack holds 40 A4 sheets in four colour pairs, and the paper reacts even to the warmth of a hand, so results are visible at once. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Press a palm onto a sheet and a coloured handprint appears, strongest where the skin is warmest — an instant way to talk about body temperature. Wrap strips around containers of warm water covered with different materials and the colour change shows which material insulates better. Laid over a warm object, a sheet maps the hotter and cooler areas, making the paper a low-cost addition to any heat energy science kit.
Cut sheets into strips so one pack can serve several groups, and use the four colour pairs to tell different trials apart. Keep unused sheets flat, dry and away from direct sunlight and heaters, and never hold the paper near a flame or a very hot surface.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, supplies heat sensitive paper from Ambala, Haryana, to primary and secondary schools, teacher training institutes, dealers and importers in India and international markets.
Because it is a classroom consumable, it is often ordered with thermometers and heat apparatus so a whole heat topic arrives in one delivery. Read more on the ScienceLab profile.

How many sheets are in a pack of Heat Sensitive Paper?
A pack of Heat Sensitive Paper contains 40 A4 sheets, supplied across four colour pairs. The sheets can be cut into smaller strips so that one pack covers several student groups or repeated experiments.
What colours does the Heat Sensitive Paper come in?
Heat Sensitive Paper is supplied in four colour pairs: blue/white, purple/pink, pink/white and green/yellow. Using different pairs helps students tell separate trials apart when comparing temperatures or insulating materials.
How warm does Heat Sensitive Paper need to be to change colour?
Heat Sensitive Paper changes colour as its temperature rises, and even the heat of a hand is enough to see a change. The exact change temperature is not stated in our listing, so contact us if you need that value.
What experiments can students do with Heat Sensitive Paper?
Students use Heat Sensitive Paper to investigate temperature, compare insulating materials and look at body temperature, for example by making handprints or wrapping strips around warm containers covered with different materials.
Who supplies Heat Sensitive Paper?
Heat Sensitive Paper is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets as a classroom consumable.
Can schools order Heat Sensitive Paper in bulk?
