Sand Paper
Sand Paper (Product Code: SCL-382/090) is an abrasive cloth sheet used to remove rust and corrosion and for metal sanding work in school and college laboratories. Its extra-sharp abrasive particles cut quickly, which makes it handy for cleaning wire ends, terminals and metal parts before physics practicals. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside its school lab equipment in India.

What Is Sand Paper Used For?
In electricity practicals, sand paper removes the covering and oxide film from the ends of connecting wires and enamelled coil wire, so that each joint makes clean metal-to-metal contact. It also brightens tarnished terminals and cell electrodes, and takes surface rust off iron stands, clamps and metal sheets used elsewhere in the lab.
Cut a sheet into small strips so each group has its own piece, fold a strip over the wire end and draw the wire through gently until the copper shines. Avoid heavy rubbing on thin or calibrated resistance wires, wipe away the metal dust afterwards, and keep unused sheets flat and dry in a drawer.
What to Specify When Ordering
- The number of sheets your laboratory needs.
- The grit or grade you prefer, as it is not stated in our listing.
- The sheet size, if your practical work needs a particular size.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies this sand paper from Ambala, Haryana, India, so that labs can order the small consumables for circuit work together with their apparatus. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets can add it to any physics lab enquiry. You can read about the company on its profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Sand Paper used for?
The Sand Paper is used to remove rust and corrosion and for metal sanding work. In a physics lab it mainly cleans the ends of connecting wires, terminals and metal parts, so electrical connections make good, low-resistance contact during experiments.
What grit is the Sand Paper?
The grit or grade of the Sand Paper is not stated in our listing. If you need a particular grade, such as a finer sheet for delicate wire ends, mention it through the contact page and we will confirm what can be supplied.
Is the Sand Paper paper-backed or cloth-backed?
The Sand Paper is supplied as abrasive cloth sheets with extra-sharp particles for faster cutting. A cloth backing is tougher than ordinary paper, so the sheet resists tearing when students fold it around a wire or rub a terminal.
How should students use the Sand Paper on wire ends?
Fold a small piece of the Sand Paper over the wire end and draw the wire through gently until the copper is bright, then wipe off the dust. Avoid heavy rubbing on thin or calibrated resistance wires, because removing metal changes their resistance.
Who supplies the Sand Paper?
The Sand Paper is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. It is available to schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets along with other physics lab items.
How much Sand Paper should a laboratory order?
The quantity of Sand Paper depends on how many benches and practical groups you run, since sheets are usually cut into small strips. Tell us the number of sheets and your delivery location through the contact page to receive a quotation.
