Item Name:
Asian 32mm Opaque Green Tubing
SKU:
ACT-OPGTC32
Description:
Asian 32mm Opaque Green Tubing is colored borosilicate glass tubing manufactured in China and sold by the piece. It is produced as a large diameter hollow tube with an opaque green body color, giving you a solid, non transparent green that reads consistently even when the wall thickness varies through forming.
In lampworking and scientific style fabrication, opaque tubing like this is chosen when you want strong color coverage without relying on heavy overlays or encasement. At 32mm, it is sized for larger builds where the tubing itself becomes the starting blank, letting you create substantial forms while keeping the work lighter and more controllable than starting from solid rod.
How it is used:
This tubing is used by heating and rotating evenly to maintain roundness, then shaping, blowing, or sealing as needed for larger lampworked components. Common uses include:
- Building larger hollow forms where you want a solid green wall color from the start
- Sleeving and section work where you need an opaque color layer that stays visually dense
- Pulling down into smaller diameter colored tube or using sections as color collars and transitions in assemblies
Because it is a large diameter tube, it benefits from a thorough heat soak and steady rotation to prevent ovaling, especially during long seals, big pulls, and any operation where gravity can distort the tube.
