Paper Slate
Introduction
Slates are required in millions in our country by students mainly of primary and middle school level. The emphasis on adult education has further enhanced the demand for slates. Conventional slates are made from slate-stone found only in a few places in India. Consequently the slates have to be transported far and wide. This not only increases the cost but also involves considerable breakages as the slate is brittle. Therefore, need was felt for a better substitute for the conventional slates.
A paper slate developed is a good substitute for the conventional slates. The special features of paper slate are that it is light weight, does not break easily, is cheap and does not lose abrasiveness quickly.
