Item Name:
Asian 9mm Blue-Green Tubing
SKU:
ACT-BGTC9
Description:
This is transparent blue-green borosilicate color tubing made in China and supplied as straight tube stock. Color tubing like this is produced as consistent, factory-drawn tubing so it can be cut, sealed, sleeved, and shaped with predictable wall behavior and even color coverage through the tube. The blue-green tone is a classic transparent color that stays lively when backlit, reads clean over clear, and is especially useful when you want color that still shows internal detail and depth rather than going fully opaque.
In lampworking, transparent color tubing is chosen when you want to build hollow forms efficiently, keep wall thickness consistent, and maintain a clean, professional look on seals and joins. It is a strong starting point for small vessels, sections, and components where you want the color already in the wall rather than having to wrap and case rod.
How it is used:
This tubing is commonly used at the bench torch as a starting tube for hollow work. It is typically:
- Cut to length, then fire-polished and sealed for closed-end sections
- Opened and flared for mouth openings and collars
- Joined tube-to-tube for longer bodies and assemblies
- Sleeved over clear tubing to create colored outer layers while keeping a clear interior
Dimensions:
- 9mm Outer Diameter
- 4' Long
