The Competitive Edge

In a crowded marketplace, it’s tough to introduce a new polymer-based innovation when your competitors are drawing from the same well of raw materials. The best way to set yourself apart from these competitors is to offer something unique — to build a custom synthetic polymer with an experienced team.

Unfortunately, many large latex manufacturers don’t have the time, attention span or motivation to work with a company whose application may require a new custom formula or a tweak to an off-the shelf product. Your company may not know how much of this formulation you’ll need or can’t promise orders of a certain size. Some manufacturers see this kind of uncertainty as risky. Others may agree to work with you on a small-batch solution but shuffle your project to the bottom of the heap as they work on larger, more lucrative accounts.

Choosing a responsive synthetic latex manufacturer like Mallard Creek Polymers means more access to the same level of expertise, research and development, and customer service as you get with large manufacturers. We work with customers, regardless of size, to find the perfect polymer emulsion for their needs.

Made-to-Order Solutions

If you find an unmet need in the market, and you know you can fill it with a novel product or unique application, you’re likely going to have to develop a custom solution — and Mallard Creek Polymers can help.

Our R&D group understands the chemistry involved in manipulating the ingredients of a latex to account for any variable. We can fine-tune polymer dispersions based on your performance requirements or develop an entirely new recipe from scratch. Plus, our stringent quality standards ensure that every batch we produce demonstrates consistency in quality and repeatable, dependable results.
