What that means in practice

K60 is the top of the low-K rigid band. Formosa list it for the same rigid calendering and foam profile work as 622R, and the two are worth comparing directly if either is offered to you.

If K-values are not something you work with daily, our PVC grades and pricing guide explains what the number is measuring and how rigid, flexible, resin, compound and regrind differ.

What to check before buying Formolon 616K

• Confirm the K-value on the batch, not just the grade name — low-K grades are chosen for flow, and a drift upward changes how it fills.
• Ask what it was intended for. Low-K resin sold as general-purpose will disappoint in an application that needed mechanical strength.
• For anything moulded, ask about colour consistency and regrind content if it is not prime.
