Product Overview
DoverCycle™ is a branded additive platform developed to improve the performance and processability of recycled-content polyolefins in demanding extrusion and packaging applications. The technology helps processors reduce gels, preserve melt flow stability, and improve processing consistency in PCR and PIR systems exposed to repeated thermal histories.
Unlike conventional additive approaches focused on a single performance attribute, DoverCycle™ combines proprietary additive technologies with converter-focused formulation support to help manufacturers optimize recycled resin utilization and improve finished product quality. The platform is available as masterbatch or neat blends and can be customized for regional resin streams, application requirements, and processing conditions.
Recycled Resin Performance
Recycled polyolefins often experience degradation from multiple thermal histories, leading to inconsistent melt flow behavior, gel formation, and processing variability. DoverCycle™ helps improve recycled resin performance by supporting more stable processing and improved finished product quality.
Circular Plastics Enablement
As recycled-content requirements continue to increase across packaging and industrial markets, manufacturers face growing pressure to maintain performance while increasing PCR and PIR utilization. DoverCycle™ helps bridge this gap by improving the usability and consistency of recycled resin streams.
Customized Formulation Support
No two recycled resin streams are identical. DoverCycle™ solutions can be customized for regional feedstocks, application requirements, and processing conditions to help converters achieve targeted performance objectives while maximizing recycled-content utilization.
