Effective March 14, 2011, Mallard Creek Polymers, Inc. will increase prices for all Rovene®, BarrierPro®, Tylac®, and Tykote® styrene-butadiene latex products by 5 cents per wet pound for all markets.  Additionally, prices for Rovene acrylics, styrene-acrylics, and vinyl-acetate based products will increase 5 cents per wet pound.  Tychem® thickeners will be increased by 5 cents per wet pound.

These price increases are driven by unexpected monomer cost increases.  The cost escalation is occurring at a faster pace than our industry can absorb.  We expect the prices we are paying to secure critical raw materials for these products will remain at this level for all of 2011.

If you should have any questions please contact us.
