What that means in practice

The lowest molecular weight grade Westlake publish — K53, IV 0.60. That is well below the general-purpose band, and it exists to flow: injection and blow moulding only. Anyone offering it for pipe or profile has the wrong grade.

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 2060

  • 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.
