At the recommended use levels in CSD (carbonated soft drinks) applications (around 5ppm), the blue toner is not required and a reduced amount of the red toner may be desirable (in some cases red toner can also be eliminated; this depends on the inherent color of the resin and so cannot be specified here). • Other additives, such as Phosphoric Acid (which is typically used as a thermal stabilizer) can be used in conjunction with Joule RHB additive and may be dosed at the same point if process constraints dictate, but only when using a separate lance to that used for the reheat additive.
