Asian 32mm Purple Tubing
ACT-PUTC32
Asian-made borosilicate color tubing in a purple formulation, produced as a consistent, machine-drawn tube that provides a uniform hollow starting point for flameworking. Color tubing is used when you want continuous color coverage and a predictable wall without having to build a hollow form from solid rod, which saves time and helps keep wall thickness even as you inflate and shape. Purple tubing is commonly chosen when you want a saturated color field that can read rich and clean in larger forms, offering strong contrast against clear, white, and many bright transparents while still giving you flexibility for overlays and assembled work.
This tubing is used as a hollow blank for lampworking. A typical workflow is to cut a section, fire-polish the ends, and then either seal one end to form a bubble or attach a handle or blow tube so the tube can be evenly heated and inflated. The 32mm diameter is well-suited for larger hollow bodies such as vessels, jars, and sculptural components where you want substantial volume and an uninterrupted color surface. Purple tubing is also useful for collars, accent sections, and color bands, and it can be stretched and necked down to create transitions while keeping the color distribution even through the forming process.
