Mallard Creek Polymers Announces Participation in TAPPI and PaperCon 2017, April 23-26 in Minneapolis, MN

Charlotte, NC, April 21, 2017 –Mallard Creek Polymers (MCP) has continued to increase its participation in the Paper and Nonwovens Industries.  PaperCon 2017 (information can be found at www.papercon.org) provides MCP with the opportunity to describe the many ways the company is involved in the paper industry.  The company is the leading provider of styrene-butadiene latex for barrier coatings, namely low MVTR and excellent Cobb resistance with Tykote®1004, Tykote®1005, and Tykote®1019.  MCP has continued to advance the product portfolio for oil and grease resistant barrier coatings.  New acrylic polymer emulsions like Tykote®6160 have been launched to provide improvements on styrene acrylic emulsion polymers. 

MCP offers a set of products for traditional paper coating applications.  Rovene®4119 is a workhorse styrene-butadiene latex with high binding strength and improved hiding.  Styrene acrylic emulsions balance cost and performance for barrier and conventional coatings.

The company can provide vinyl acetate based products for paperboard packaging.  Vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymers and vinyl acrylics provide enhanced brightness, opacity, and glueability relative to other types of emulsion polymers.

Mallard Creek Polymers is sponsoring the Runnability 5K Fun Run/1.5 Mile Walk that provides scholarships for deserving students in pulp and paper science and technology programs.  This marks the eighth year that the company has sponsored this great cause.  MCP encourages all attendees to enjoy this special event.
