Mallard Creek Polymers (MCP) will be exhibiting at Booth #1047 during the American Coatings Show (ACS) on April 5-7, 2022 in Indianapolis, IN.

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.

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 GmbH will celebrate its one-year anniversary in April. The company, a subsidiary of Mallard Creek Polymers, Inc. (MCP), has accomplished a great deal during this year. There are 17 Ecronova ^® products available, being produced across the region through a number of excellent manufacturing collaborations. The team has moved to a new headquarters and laboratory near Dortmund, Germany. MCP has already introduced and started selling styrene-butadiene products in Europe. In Charlotte, NC, they have scaled-up five Ecronova recipes and started applying the technology acquired in product development. By combining a deep understanding of emulsion polymers and coatings technology, cross-fertilization from other application segments, a strong product portfolio, and a broad array of chemistry options, the company can react quickly to changing and demanding market requirements.
