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 has made significant progress since our last update. We have upscaled the key grades from the Ecronova® KDA styrene-acrylic family of 0°C MFFT products. The Ecronova KDA styrene-acrylic polymer dispersions are ideally suited for architectural coatings on fresh construction materials as well as refurbished building surfaces. These products are APEO free and can be formulated for paint, primer, and sealer applications. These versatile polymers feature high filler loading tolerance, exceptional penetration into mineral-based substrates, and excellent water and alkali resistance.

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.
