Item Name:
Asian 16mm Transparent Black Tubing
SKU:
ACT-BLTCT16
Description:
This lightly saturated black borosilicate color tubing is manufactured in China and supplied as straight tubing intended for flameworking and scientific-style fabrication. Transparent black is used when you want a clean, darkened look that still carries light through the wall, making it ideal for work where you want definition without going fully opaque. It is commonly chosen for accents, overlays, and sections where you want a smoked appearance while still being able to read heat and wall thickness through the glass.
How it is used:
This tubing is typically cut down into manageable working lengths, then heated and shaped on the torch for builds that require consistent round stock. It can be used for sleeving over clear, pulling down into smaller tubing, forming sections for assemblies, or creating dark transparent components where you want a refined, professional finish. Because it is tubing, it is especially useful when you need to preserve an internal bore while shaping, stretching, or sealing.
Dimensions:
- 16mm diameter tubing
- 4 ft. lengths
Special notes:
