Asian 9mm Cobalt Blue Tubing
ACT-BTC9
Asian-made borosilicate color tubing in a cobalt blue 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. Cobalt blue is typically chosen when you want a strong, saturated blue that reads bold and clean in finished work, providing high contrast against clear and lighter colors while maintaining its presence in both thin and thick applications.
This tubing is used as a hollow blank for lampworking. A typical workflow is to cut a section, fire-polish the ends, and then either seal one end to form a bubble or attach a handle or blow tube so the tube can be evenly heated and inflated. A 9mm diameter is well-suited for smaller hollow components where you want a ready-made tube for quick, consistent results, such as small connections, collars, and compact hollow forms. Cobalt blue tubing is also useful for strong color bands and accent sections, and it can be stretched and necked down to create transitions while maintaining even color distribution through the forming process.
Individual pieces will be cut in half to save on shipping. Cases ship individually in a 65" box. If you would like this to be sent whole, please email cs@abrimagery.com about your order.
