Item Name:
Asian 9mm Jade White Tubing
SKU:
ACT-JWTC9
Description:
Asian-made borosilicate color tubing in a jade white 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. Jade white is typically chosen when you want a soft, neutral tone with a slight cool undertone that reads smooth and refined in finished work, making it an excellent choice for clean backgrounds, contrast layers, and designs where you want a subtle, sophisticated presence.
How it is used:
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. Jade white tubing is also useful for soft 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.
