Mallard Creek Polymers, Inc. (MCP) understands the challenges that companies face when creating the next formulation that requires cement stability. The sales and R&D people in MCP work hand-in-hand with formulation chemists, operations staff, and purchasing to tailor synthetic emulsion polymers to meet specific needs identified by the prospective customer. By combining a deep understanding of coatings, construction and cement technology with 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.

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. 

Mallard Creek Polymers, Inc. (MCP) continues to introduce valuable coating and binder technology for the construction industry by developing new acrylic polymer emulsions and styrene acrylics. The new acrylic polymers are developed to supplement the extensive portfolio of styrene-butadiene latexes the company offers to many building and construction applications. Rovene^® 6521 is the latest product that is designed as a multipurpose acrylic grade that can be used in thick film paints or membranes, has cement compatibility to allow adequate open time, and is plasticizer-free. MCP had previously introduced Tylac^® 4193, a styrene-butadiene copolymer with very similar performance.  The SBR provides improved adhesion while the acrylic latex has improved UV stability. The open time and workability are essentially equivalent.

Mallard Creek Polymers, Inc. (MCP) is pleased to announce Azelis Canada Inc., an Azelis Americas company; as their distributor of synthetic emulsion polymers across Eastern Canada effective September 1st, 2016.

As MCP proceeds into the future, they believe that it is critical for information to be available to anyone on any device the person might choose. At MCP, the company is striving to grow and make an impact in 2020 and this tool now allows communication in a mobile friendly format.

In addition to the recent announcement of two formulation grades, Mallard Creek Polymers will be attending the American Coating Show later this month.
