Item Name:
Asian 9mm Pink Tubing
SKU:
ACT-PTC9
Description:
Asian 9mm Pink Tubing is a lightly saturated, transparent pink borosilicate color tubing made in China. It is produced as consistent, straight tubing and supplied in 4 ft lengths. This listing is sold by the piece, with the same color and working characteristics you would expect from imported color tube intended for everyday shop production.
In lampworking and scientific glass work, transparent pink tubing is chosen when you want clean light transmission, a readable color layer, and a bright accent that stays crisp over clear. It is commonly used when you need the efficiency of starting from tube rather than sleeving rod, especially for hollow builds where you want a uniform wall and a predictable starting geometry.
How it is used:
This tubing is typically worked like any borosilicate color tube:
- Use it as a starting body tube for hollow forms, seals, and assemblies where a transparent pink color field is desired.
- Heat evenly and keep the tube rotating to maintain roundness, then shape with gravity, jacks, paddles, or a graphite marver depending on the form.
- It can be joined to compatible borosilicate clear or other colors for transitions, sections, and layered effects, making it useful for both artistic components and functional builds that need a distinct color identifier.
Dimensions:
- 9mm Outer Diameter
- 4' Long
