HDPE is not recommended for purging
as it can cause delamination or lead to black specks.
Runners
• Full-round runners or modified trapezoid runners are the best designs.
• Half-round runners are not recommended.
• Only naturally balanced runner systems (“H” pattern) are recommended.
• Runner diameters should not be less than the part thickness.
• Runner diameter should be 1.5x the part thickness.
• Step each 90° bend in the system down in size.
• Place vents at each 90° intersection and vent to atmosphere.
• Hot runner molds are acceptable and should be sized by the manufacturer.

Total Enterprise Value / 2021E EBITDA
Our current valuation with updated
guidance implies an EBITDA multiple
that is below specialty formulator
peers and the median of other
selected chemical / specialty
companies.
With the Clariant Masterbatch
acquisition and divestment of the
PP&S business, our exposure is now
concentrated in less-cyclical and
high-growth markets, with increased
geographic diversification and a more
specialized portfolio that can
significantly expand EBITDA margins.
