Early MOFI vinyl formulation

Quiex-2 was a special formulation of vinyl.
I belive the early MFSL were of a similar or identical product (maybe quiex befor the Quiex-2 appelation was added)
Many promo specials were in Quiex II vinyl and they always were the smoke color which looked like ordinary black vinyl but held up to the light they actually were a transparent grey.
For some reason that stuff has totally diappeared from any current production.
I have no idea why. maybe patent rights and the original company wants a fortune to use it?

The vinyl was indeed made (and patented) by JVC. The trade name was Supervinyl and it was made using virgin material in a proprietary formulation. MFSL used it exclusively until JVC stopped offering it. Others that used it were Japanese home-market labels (often referred to as YSL), Barking Pumpkin (Zappa) and Nautilus. Some have ascribed its withdrawal from the market to declining volume, others to the truly expensive, nasty process necessary to make it. Either way, JVC has refused to sell the patent or license it to anyone else. A pity; it wears like iron and is the quietest formula I've ever heard.

Effischer described it very good. That JVC Vinyl was ultimate.
But that Knowledge is lost, today we can read everywhere, that we have super 200 gr Presslings and they are the best after slicend bred.
I would write that too when I would get them for free..... But I have to Pay and I think, they are generally bad...Noisy, damaged Grooves....
