Mallard Creek Polymers, LLC. (MCP) has continued to increase its investment in the coatings and construction industries with R&D, Intellectual Property acquisition, and geographic expansion. Just before ACS 2018, the company had completed the acquisition of the Ecronova Polymers, GmbH intellectual property and created a new company, MCP Europe GmbH. The European subsidiary is almost two years into operation and has reintroduced more than 25 products back to the local market.

Mallard Creek Polymers has been a supplier of styrene acrylic emulsion polymers to the elastomeric roof coatings market since 2013. To compliment this capability, we are pleased to announce the launch of Rovene® 6120, an all-acrylic emulsion polymer for highly durable elastomeric roof coatings conforming to ASTM D 6083. MCP has just received third party validation that Rovene 6120 can be formulated to meet or exceed ASTM D6083, the Standard Specification for Liquid Applied Acrylic Coating Used in Roofing. The company is excited to discuss this new product and our latest styrene-acrylic dispersions with interested customers.

In early 2019, Mallard Creek Polymers, Inc. (MCP) launched products like Ecronova 6608 and Ecronova 6630 using ambient cure crosslinking technology from the company’s 2018 acquisition of Ecronova Polymers Intellectual Property portfolio. At the same time, MCP was building a new company in Europe, MCP Europe GmbH, that has been reintroducing Ecronova products like RA111, RA576H, KDA790, etc. to the architectural coatings market.  Today, the company is announcing further work to integrate technology to design APEO-free binders and resins for many Construction markets in Europe and the America’s. By combining the acquired technology, a deep understanding of coatings and construction markets, and a rich product portfolio and chemistry options, MCP can react quickly to tailor products to meet industry’s specific performance demands. The company is introducing some of those products to the market at the Western Coating Symposium.

MCP Europe has made significant progress since our last update. We have upscaled the key grades from the Ecronova® KDA styrene-acrylic family of 0°C MFFT products. The Ecronova KDA styrene-acrylic polymer dispersions are ideally suited for architectural coatings on fresh construction materials as well as refurbished building surfaces. These products are APEO free and can be formulated for paint, primer, and sealer applications. These versatile polymers feature high filler loading tolerance, exceptional penetration into mineral-based substrates, and excellent water and alkali resistance.
