There are several reasons why PVC hoses may emit an unpleasant odor. Here are a few reasons:
Chemicals used in production
PVC hoses often uses chemicals such as phthalates, which will emit strong odors. These chemicals are to make the PVC more flexible and durable. But they can also cause a distinct “plastic” smell.
Residue from production
Sometimes, the producing process can leave residue on the PVC hose that emits a strong odor. This residue may be from solvents or other chemicals during production.
Environmental factors
If a PVC hose exposes to extreme temp or sunlight for a long period of time, it may start to break down and emit an unpleasant odor.
Age
PVC hoses can also start to break down and emit an odor over time, especially if they are stored in a damp or humid environment.
Overall, the best way to avoid a PVC hose emitting a terrible smell is to purchase high-quality hoses. Then choose a reliable supplier and store them in a cool, dry place when not in use.
