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.
