Asian 9mm Jade Pink Tubing

Item Name:

Asian 9mm Jade Pink Tubing

SKU:

ACT-JP9

Description:

Jade Pink is an Asian borosilicate color tubing supplied as straight tube stock in 4 ft. lengths. This color is described as cloudy and milky, which puts it in that soft, opal-leaning family where the body of the glass carries a gentle haze rather than a clear, jewel-like transparency. Colors like this are valued because they give you an even, consistent base color right in the tube wall, which is a faster and cleaner way to build hollow forms than wrapping rod and chasing thickness.

This particular Jade Pink is also noted for being flame-sensitive and preferring a soft flame to keep its color. In practical bench terms, that means you generally want a neutral-to-slightly-oxidizing flame, avoid aggressive, sharp heat, and keep your working zone a little farther out in the flame so you preserve the intended milky pink tone through your seals and joins.

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 a milky pink outer layer while keeping a clear interior

Dimensions:

• 9mm Outer Diameter
• 4' Long
