Gerald,
Yes it seems to be a tough and flexible black water pipe that is split along its length.
The pipe outer diameter is 19mm and wall thickness is 2.5mm. The material is tough and slippery and feels like nylon.
Slitting the pipe along a straight line will be difficult without a tool or jig.
Here is picture of an offcut:

Rob supplied the pipe and because we lived close he hand delivered it and we discussed the installation. I supplied the drum and swivel joint myself.
