MCP offers a wide variety of technologies within the Rovene® product family. Traditional styrene butadiene products fill specialty niches, while acrylics and styrene acrylics have been designed to meet industry performance demands. Our newest offering, resin supported emulsions (RSE’s), have been designed to deliver industry performance standards in the challenging press environment. Applications for RSE’s require the ink or coating to have Newtonian type rheology as well as excellent resolubility and clean up on the press. The Rovene® RSE product line offers a variety of polymers at varying glass transition temperatures and other parameters such as acid number, functionality and particle size. These parameters and the emulsions physical properties affect the press performance and final ink or coating properties such as gloss, adhesion, block and water resistance. These Rovene® emulsions can be used over a wide range of substrates which may include paper, paperboard, films, foils and corrugated boxes.
