Item Name:
Asian 38mm Opaque Purple Tubing
SKU:
ACT-OPPUTC38
Description:
Asian 38mm Opaque Purple Tubing is a Chinese-made borosilicate color tubing supplied in 4 ft lengths and sold by the piece. This is an opaque purple color, meaning it is formulated for solid, non-transparent coverage so the color reads strong and even across large hollow work. Opaque purple is a go-to when you want bold, graphic color that holds its presence after stretching, shaping, and blowing, especially on larger diameter tubing where transparent purples can thin out visually if you do not build heavy wall.
How it is used:
This tubing is used as ready-made color stock for borosilicate lampworking and hollow fabrication. Common professional uses include:
- Sleeving over clear tubing to create thick-walled color blanks for cups, small vessels, and larger hollow forms.
- Building color-over-clear assemblies where you want the strength and stability of clear boro underneath with an opaque purple outer layer.
- Cutting into shorter sections for blown components, large maria bases, and collars where you want a crisp opaque band of color.
- Pulling down into smaller diameter color tubing for matching components, mouthpieces, or accent sections while keeping the color visually solid.
Dimensions:
- 38mm Outer Diameter
- 4' Long
