Asian 51mm Opaque Pink Tubing
ACT-OPPTC51
Asian-made borosilicate color tubing in an opaque pink formulation, produced as a consistent, machine-drawn tube that provides a uniform hollow starting point for flameworking. Color tubing is used when you want continuous color coverage and a predictable wall without having to build a hollow form from solid rod, which saves time and helps keep wall thickness even as you inflate and shape. Opaque pink is typically chosen when you want a solid, fully saturated pink that reads clean and bright without any transparency, making it ideal for bold, graphic work where you want pure color without light transmission effects.
This tubing is used as a hollow blank for lampworking. A typical workflow is to cut a section, fire-polish the ends, and then attach a handle or blow tube for controlled heating and inflation, or seal one end to start a bubble for shaping. The 51mm diameter is well-suited for very large hollow bodies where you want maximum starting volume and an uninterrupted color surface, such as oversized vessels and large sculptural components. Opaque pink tubing is also useful for strong color bands, collars, and transitions, and it can be stretched and necked down while maintaining even color distribution and opacity through the forming process.
We do not cut anything over 38mm for the safety of our team members.
