Molecular Model Kit, Saturated Fat – Stearic Acid
Molecular Model Kit, Saturated Fat – Stearic Acid (Product Code: SLE/Mo/14) is a model-building kit used to assemble stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid, so students can see the long straight carbon chain typical of saturated fats. Its precision-moulded parts join firmly for handling and pack into a compartment case — a useful molecular model for organic chemistry and nutrition lessons. This kit comes from Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, which makes it at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Is the Stearic Acid Model Kit Used For?
Stearic acid has a chain of 18 carbon atoms ending in a carboxylic acid group. Every carbon–carbon bond in the chain is single, which is what makes it saturated. The chain therefore stays straight in a zig-zag pattern, and neighbouring molecules can pack tightly — the reason fats rich in stearic acid are solid at room temperature.
Teachers use the kit to compare saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (drawing the kinked chain of an unsaturated acid on the board beside the straight model), to identify the carboxylic acid functional group and to explain how three fatty acids join glycerol to form a fat. Building two or three chains and laying them side by side is a quick way to show why straight chains pack closely.
OEM Manufacturer
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, is the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of this stearic acid kit. It is made at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplied direct to schools, colleges, dealers and importers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the stearic acid model used to show?
The Molecular Model Kit, Saturated Fat – Stearic Acid shows the structure of stearic acid, a saturated fatty acid with a long, straight carbon chain and a carboxylic acid group. It helps explain why saturated fats are solid at room temperature.
How does the stearic acid kit differ from the glyceryl tristearate kit?
The Molecular Model Kit, Saturated Fat – Stearic Acid builds a single fatty acid, while the glyceryl tristearate kit builds a complete fat with three stearic acid chains joined to glycerol. Using both shows how fats are assembled.
Are the stearic acid kit parts durable enough for student handling?
Yes, the Molecular Model Kit, Saturated Fat – Stearic Acid is produced from precision-engineered moulds and materials, and its joining pieces keep the model firm. Students can pass the finished molecule around during a lesson without it falling apart.
