Joule™ Re-heat Additives

ColorMatrix's Joule™ range of additives optimise heat uptake of preforms during secondary blowing with minimal impact on colour and clarity. This speeds up the preform blowing process and reduces energy requirements.

Joule™ Technology

During the bottle production process, heat is transferred to the preform by infra-red (IR) radiation. Joule™ re-heat additives enhance the way the PET resin absorbs IR radiation, resulting in improved temperature distribution across the body of the preform and better polymer distribution across the bottle's body.

They help to achieve a more consistent blowing performance, faster throughput and, through more efficient utilization of the IR radiation in the process, reduced energy requirements.

Unlike traditional black body absorbers, Joule™ re-heat additives have a minimal impact on resin colour and clarity.

Benefits of ColorMatrix Joule™ Technology

Joule™ additives offer:

• Reduced localized overheating
• Reduced risk of crystallization
• Minimized overstretching
• Consistent blowing performance
• Lower blow pressure and cost savings
• Less scrap
• Faster heat uptake
• Higher output on heat limited machines
• Enhanced blowing of light-weighted performs and complicated bottle shapes.
