Mallard Creek Polymers, Inc. (MCP) continues to expand the markets for the company’s line of Acrylic Polymer Emulsions. A key R&D effort has been focused on the concrete coatings market segment and has resulted in the introduction of Rovene 6117 and Rovene 6118.

Mallard Creek Polymers has a fast-growing line of acrylic polymer emulsions and styrene-acrylic latexes for many Performance Coatings segments to complement the company’s styrene-butadiene chemistry.

In addition to these high performance concrete sealer and coating grades, MCP has developed and commercialized emulsion polymer products for asphalt sealers, wall paints, landscaping materials, recreational surfaces, and road construction/soil stabilization.

Generally, the company is prepared to develop products for customers to coat sand and aggregate mixtures of all types or bind sand and aggregate with its extensive line of polymer chemistries. The R&D organization of the company is able to assist clients in chemistry and polymer selection, product application, and unique testing to facilitate formulation design and coating commercialization.

These new products and the company’s key products for the coatings industry are highlighted in the new Latex Products for Performance Coatings selection guide. This guide describes products available today, and more importantly, provides a snapshot of the types of products that the company can customize for individual client formulation and/or application.

As coating formulators seek innovation in polymers for their new water-borne products, MCP’s approach to developing its acrylic polymer emulsions ‘one customer at a time’ should fit well with the changing demands in these market segments. Details on these products and others can be obtained from the Technical Data Sheets and in the Performance Coatings Selection Guide.
