Urge Corning Inc to Resume Manufacturing of 33COE Borosilicate Tubing in the United States

The Issue

My name is American Glassblower, and I am glass blower and pipe maker of 25 years. My craft demands high-quality products, like the 33 COE borosilicate tubing previously produced by Corning Inc. Yet this essential product is no longer made in the United States.

33 COE borosilicate tubing, renowned for it's lower rate of thermal expansion, allows for unique artistic applications and remarkable product longevity, making it the preferred choice for glass pipe artists. 

By restarting the production of 33 COE borosilicate tubing in the United States, Corning Inc can revitalize local industries, accelerate innovation, and support the thousands of artists who depend on it. This move could also contribute to reinvigorating the U.S. economy, encouraging the spread of the ancient craft of glass blowing, and preserving a unique and valuable skill set within the country.

Therefore, we call upon Corning Inc to consider the needs of American artisans and the potential value to the community at large. Please resume manufacturing 33 COE borosilicate tubing in the United States. Your action could safeguard an entire art form and its countless practitioners. Please, sign this petition to support American glass blowers and pipe makers.
