Asian 51mm Red 22 Tubing
ACT-RED22-51
Asian-made borosilicate color tubing in a red 22 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. Red 22 is typically chosen when you want a deep, saturated red with warmth and richness, reading bold and traditional in finished work while pairing well with clear, black, and many transparent accents for strong contrast and classic color combinations.
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. Red 22 tubing is also useful for strong color bands, collars, and transitions, and it can be stretched and necked down while maintaining even color distribution through the forming process.
We do not cut anything over 38mm for the safety of our team members.
