Description:

Asian 51mm Opaque Green Tubing is a Chinese-made colored borosilicate tubing produced as an opaque green. This is large-diameter color tubing intended for artists and scientific workers who want the look of a solid, non-transparent green without relying on surface coloration. Because the color is fully opaque, it reads strongly even on thicker wall sections and holds its visual density in heavier builds where transparent colors can wash out.

This tubing is supplied as straight stock and is typically chosen when you need consistent color coverage across a larger form, such as when building sizable components, sleeving for bold color fields, or creating sections that will be stretched, blown out, or re-shaped while still keeping an even, saturated green appearance.

How it is used:

This tubing is worked in a torch as your primary color body tube or as a color sleeve over compatible clear. In lampworking, you commonly:

• Heat and rotate evenly to bring the tube up to working temperature without creating hot spots
• Seal ends for blowouts, form constrictions, or pull points for shaping
• Blow and expand sections to create larger hollow forms while maintaining a uniform opaque color field
• Join to other borosilicate components using clean, even heat so the seam fully fuses and finishes smooth

Opaque color tubing like this is especially useful when you want strong color blocking, high contrast against clear sections, or a bold base color for sculptural and functional builds.
