industrial and infrastructure uses – think traffic markings and other demanding projects. Plastic additives help stabilize polymers, so customers can maintain material performance over extended use cycles. David uses consumer packaging as an example:“ You want that color to stay vibrant on the shelf for as long as possible.” The oilfield and lubricants unit supports drilling fluids for both onshore and offshore work, as well as natural gas and metalworking fluids for steel cutting, automotive, and heavy vehicle production. Building on its strong foundation in polymer additives, Dover Chemical recently expanded its Doverphos ® LGP-12 platform into a broader suite of solutions addressing foodcontact packaging, processing efficiency, and recycling performance. At the core is Doverphos ® LGP-12, a high-molecularweight polymeric phosphite antioxidant designed for low migration and regulatory confidence in food-contact applications. The platform also includes DoverClear ™, a PFASfree, silicone-free line of process aids and gel reducers that improve surface quality, reduce die-lip buildup, and enhance film clarity in extrusion processes. Introduced in 2025, DoverCycle™ extends the platform into recycling, helping converters incorporate higher levels of recycled content while maintaining melt-flow stability, clarity, and overall material performance. Together, the expanded LGP-12 platform reflects Dover Chemical’ s shift toward integrated additive solutions that support circular-economy goals and evolving global packaging regulations. Megan adds that the platform approach allows Dover Chemical to address multiple challenges simultaneously, from food-contact compliance to recyclability and processing efficiency.
Dover Chemical’ s technology transformation goes far beyond new product
