Item Name:
Asian 25mm Purple Tubing
SKU:
ACT-PUTC
Description:
Asian 25mm Purple Tubing is lightly saturated transparent lavender purple borosilicate glass tubing made in China and supplied in 4 ft lengths. It is manufactured as hollow tubing with a consistent outside diameter, intended for flameworking when you want a transparent purple that gives color without turning overly dark in thicker sections. Transparent lavender tones are often chosen for work where you want depth, light transmission, and a softer color presence that still reads cleanly over clear borosilicate.
How it is used:
This tubing is commonly used as a starting form for hollow borosilicate work, allowing you to build volume quickly and keep wall thickness even while shaping. Typical uses include pulling down to smaller diameter tubing, making blowouts for shaping sections, forming sleeves and collars for reinforced connections, and creating colored sections that can be joined to clear or other colors. A transparent lavender purple like this is especially useful for layered color effects, clean encasement work, and subtle shading where you want the interior form to remain visible during shaping and finishing.
Dimensions:
- 25 mm outside diameter tubing
