What that means in practice

The 5000-series twin of 2095 at the same K68 and IV 0.95. Another of Westlake's parallel pairs — same published figures, same applications, so the choice between them is a supply question rather than a technical one.

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 5395

• High-K grades are bought for plasticiser uptake, so ask about porosity and how consistently the batch absorbs.
• If the end use is wire, cable or anything food-contact, the approval documentation matters more than the K-value.
• Ask for a batch certificate of analysis rather than the generic datasheet — at this end of the range the batch is what you are buying.
