PVC Resin: K-values, process and applications

Suspension PVC resin for pipes, profiles, film and cables. Suspension PVC resin is graded by K-value, which relates to molecular weight. Lower K-values suit injection and film; higher values suit pipes and cables.

PVC Resin: frequently asked questions

What is K-value?

A measure related to molecular weight that determines which products a PVC resin suits.

Ethylene or carbide PVC?

Both are traded; some buyers prefer one route for consistency or compliance.

Which K-value for pipes?

K65–K67 is common for rigid pipe.

Can PVC compounds be supplied?

Yes. Share the application and formulation needs.
