Mallard Creek Polymers, a leading supplier of water based acrylic and styrene butadiene polymers, is excited to announce the next generation Tykote^® product for the paper and packaging markets, Tykote^® 6161.

Ibrahim El-Hedok, Senior Application Specialist at Mallard Creek Polymers, will be presenting at this year's Adhesive and Sealant Council in Orlando, FL. He will be discussing the growing use and advantages to using styrene butadiene polymer emulsion chemistry, specifically in the adhesives market.

Mallard Creek Polymers opened a new distribution center in May 2021, increasing inventory space available to meet product demand and customer needs.

Mallard Creek Polymers, LLC. (MCP) has continued to increase its investment in the adhesives market and APEO free emulsion polymers.  The company added an Applications R&D expert in late 2019 and has leveraged the Ecronova acquisition to develop Rovene^® 6592 for pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) applications. In early 2018, MCP completed the acquisition of the Ecronova Polymers GmbH technology and created a new company, MCP Europe GmbH. The technology acquired demonstrates very small particle size, unique polymerization techniques to adjust particle morphology, ambient cure crosslinking technology and APEO free stabilization techniques. Rovene 6592 is a direct result of all the company’s investments in technology made over the last ten years, starting with Dow Reichhold Specialty Latex, when the recipe for Rovene 97982 was acquired. 

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.

Mallard Creek Polymers, Inc. (MCP) announced the acquisition of intellectual property from Ecronova Polymers GmbH in early April. The company is excited to integrate the Ecronova^® and Ecrovin^® into the North American market. The acquisition has added over 90 recipes including pure acrylic dispersions, styrene acrylic polymer emulsions, and vinyl acetate homopolymers and copolymers. MCP has developed a new company, MCP Europe GmbH, which brings sales, chemists, application experts, and business leaders from the past Ecronova organizations. These experts are ready to respond to your questions and challenges. MCP Europe GmbH will soon introduce styrene acrylics and pure acrylics using a high-quality set of tolling partners across Europe. The company is also working to continue to offer key vinyl acetate emulsions in North America and Europe. Ecronova KDA 60 and Ecronova KDA 30 are two of the first products MCP has scaled up in Europe. These are deep penetrating primers considered market leaders across the European region and set the industry standard for central and eastern European countries.
