Perspex Rod Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-GLE-8549
Jlab Export is a leading Perspex Rod Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Perspex Rod (code EL-GLE-8549) is a 10 x 200 mm rod of Perspex used in electrostatics: rubbed with cotton or wool flannel, it builds up a static charge for demonstrations of charging by friction in school and college physics labs. It is a simple friction rod for showing static electricity to a class. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with Other JLab Friction Charging Items?
| Item | Material | Form | Rubbed with |
|---|---|---|---|
| This rod (EL-GLE-8549) | Perspex | Rod, 10 x 200 mm | Cotton or wool flannel |
| Ebonite Rod | Ebonite (hard rubber) | Rod with plain ends | Fur or wool |
| Polythene Strip | Polythene | Strip | — |
Different materials charged by rubbing can be compared for attraction and repulsion, so choose the Perspex rod when you want Perspex in that comparison, alongside the ebonite rod or the polythene strip.
What Is the Perspex Rod Used For?
When two different materials are rubbed together, electrons pass from one surface to the other, so both end up carrying opposite static charges. Rubbing this rod with cotton or wool flannel charges it in exactly this way, giving students a hands-on start to electrostatics in school physics and to the class 12 topic of electric charges and fields. The charged rod can then be used with an electroscope or other electrostatics apparatus to explore attraction, repulsion and charge detection.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of rods — for example one per student group.
- Other friction materials, such as ebonite rods or polythene strips, for comparing charges.
- An electroscope or electrostatic kit, which are separate items, if the lab needs them too.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size is the Perspex rod?
It measures 10 x 200 mm.
How is the rod charged?
By rubbing it with cotton or wool flannel, which builds up a static charge on the Perspex through friction.
How does it differ from an ebonite rod?
The two are made of different materials: this rod is Perspex, rubbed with cotton or wool flannel, while the ebonite rod is hard rubber, rubbed with fur or wool. Using both lets students compare how different materials charge.
Who manufactures the Perspex Rod?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and supplies it direct as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a physics lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. The Perspex rods are produced at JLab’s own works, not bought from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order factory-direct, each rod is visually inspected before it ships, and further orders come back to the maker. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — Ivory Coast in West Africa, Serbia in Southern Europe, Lebanon in the Middle East, Taiwan in East Asia and Namibia in Southern Africa are some examples.
