Introduction
PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is a highly versatile thermoplastic material, and is widely used across various industries including construction, agriculture, packaging, and automotive.
For every high-quality BPA plastic product, just like all other high-performance plastic products, a critical choice must be made before going into production — the selection of the appropriate grade of PVC resin.
At Poly Natraj Pvt. Ltd., we provide certified, quality PVC resins to manufacturers all over India. Whether you are making rigid PVC pipes, soft rolls of PVC film, or specialty PVC profiles, the decision on the appropriate grade of resin is paramount for three main reasons:
-
Performance
-
Economics
-
Compliance with standards
What are PVC Resin Grades?
PVC resin grades indicate the different formulations of PVC that can be associated with a K-value.
The K-value is a number that measures the average molecular weight of the polymer:
-
Higher K-value → Higher strength & impact resistance
-
Lower K-value → Better resin flow during processing
Common K-values for India:
-
K-57 – Soft, flexible profiles with low-pressure hoses
-
K-65 – General purpose resin for rigid pipes and fittings
-
K-67 – Pressure pipes and high-impact molding
-
K-70+ – Specialty applications (films, wires, and cables)
Each grade is assigned to a specific application based on performance needs, processing method, and usage environment.
Industrial Applications by Resin Grade
K-57 (Low Molecular Weight)
Used for: Soft sheet extrusion, transparent films, hoses
Advantages: Very flexible, good clarity, low temperature processing
Best for: Packaging films, medical tubing, rainwear
K-65 (Medium Molecular Weight)
Used for: Injection molding and extrusion for rigid products
Advantages: Good balance between strength and flow
Best for: Electrical conduit fittings, windows, doors, profiles
K-67 (High Molecular Weight)
Used for: Rigid pipe extrusion and heavy-duty fittings
Advantages: High impact strength, pressure capabilities, UV resistance
Best for: uPVC, CPVC plumbing pipes, sewage & drain systems
K-70 and above (Specialty Grades)
Used for: Cable insulation, shrink films, laminated layers
Advantages: High dielectric strength, multi-directional flexibility under load
Best for: Wire & cable jackets, blister packaging, industrial film
Additives that Modify Resin Performance
In commercial applications, PVC resin is usually mixed with specific additives to improve performance:
-
Stabilisers – Protect from degradation during heating
-
Plasticisers – Allow flexibility for soft products
-
Impact modifiers – Add toughness to rigid applications
-
Colourants and fillers – Customise appearance and weight
-
Lubricants – Reduce friction during extrusion or molding
Poly Natraj not only supplies a range of resins but also offers customised additive blends that meet technical specifications and ensure consistency.
