What are typical values for 'K' in the Ostwald model for non-Newtonian fluids?

I need to make a simple model of a strain-hardening fluid flow, basically to find shear force on a wall. I'm looking at the Ostwald model
http://www.answers.com/topic/power-law-fluid

but I can't find any values for "K" for any material. I don't really care too much what material I'm looking at, I just want to at least get an idea of what it typically looks like. Does anyone know of any resource with tables of some K values?
