I could use a little help. I'm looking for a basic PVC garden hose formulation. If anyone could provide a formula or a source it would be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Tom,
In addition to the email I sent, you also could make 100% virgin hose with the formulation I gave you, but this classically has been a "low-end" market, which is why 80-90% of the hose cross section is regrind or recycled flexible PVC.
Additionaly, for potable water (i.e.RV's & campers)you should have a non-toxic Ca/Zn stabilizer system----and most are pigmented white with TiO2.

Cheers, Skip
