Joule™ re-heat additives offer improvement in heat uptake in preforms during the secondary blowing process, allowing for faster production cycles and energy savings. Joule™ re-heat additives have been specifically designed to optimize resin heat uptake whilst having minimal impact on resin color and clarity. Joule™ re-heat additives are formulated for use in both the PET polymerization process (addition to reactor or downstream) and for direct addition at the injection molding machine. The ranges are classified respectively as JouleR, JouleD and JouleM.
