What that means in practice
K65, IV 0.89 — the pipe, tube and conduit grade, and the most traded band in PVC. The P suffix is the tell: 1230P is pipe, 1230S is siding, and they are not interchangeable despite sharing a number.
If K-values are not something you work with daily, our PVC grades and pricing guide explains what they measure and how prime, off-spec, regrind and regranulate differ.
What to check before buying Westlake 1230P
- K65 is the most traded band, which means it is also the band where 'general-purpose PVC' gets used loosely. Get the actual grade name.
- For pipe and conduit work, ask whether the material is prime, near-prime or off-spec, and what the deviation is if it is off-spec.
- Check the packaging and storage history — suspension resin is a powder and it picks up moisture.
