This tubing is of a low expansion borosilicate composition with high chemical resistance, making it the most popular type of glass in the world for laboratory use. It meets all U.S. Pharmacopoeia specifications for type 1A glass. Borosilicate glass is simply the generic form of the better known heat resistant glass brands Pyrex, Corning, Simax, Kimax and others. In order to be bent, the tubing has to be heated until it glows a faint red color. Heating should be with a propane or natural gas burner similar to a plumbing torch or our propane Bunsen burner. Propane can be purchased at a local hardware store. ## Features - 12 inches in length - O.D.

Months later, a friend of a friend with a serious drug problem was crashing at my apartment overnight, and went through everything I owned while I was sleeping and discovered these, as well as a blowtorch. I woke to some confusing sounds, and when I went out to investigate, I found the kid working these glass tubes with a blowtorch. Long story short, he'd worked them into zig-zag shapes and had somehow decided to use a blowtorch to heat up the bottom of a borosillicate glass tube and snort copious amounts of instantly-vaporized-by-the-heat-drugs into his face. While I never had a chance to use these myself, I can report that some tweaker kid found them to be extremely useful, and they made a wonderful shattering noise when I smashed them on the pavement the next morning.Pros: even people on drugs can work these into unusual shapesCons: I forgot what project I bought these for in the first place ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars shipping was fast *by M***C on Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2018* ok ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars Three Stars *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2016* Craft building material - good product. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10931972-borosilicate-glass-tubing-8mm-od-x-12-inches-pk-5](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10931972-borosilicate-glass-tubing-8mm-od-x-12-inches-pk-5) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
