Asian 9mm Jade Blue Tubing

Item Name:

Asian 9mm Jade Blue Tubing

SKU:

ACT-JBTC9

Description:

This is opaque blue borosilicate tubing made in China and supplied as straight tube stock in 4 ft. lengths. Opaque color tubing is produced to give a dense, non-see-through body color, which is ideal when you want a bold, solid look that reads the same under a wide range of lighting. Because the color is already in the tube wall, it is a clean, efficient way to build hollow forms without spending time wrapping and smoothing rod color onto clear.

In lampworking, opaque tubing is especially useful when you want crisp silhouettes, strong contrast against clear sections, or a consistent base color for surface decoration, overlays, and line work.

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 an opaque outer layer while keeping a clear interior

Dimensions:

• 9mm Outer Diameter
• 4' Long
