Mallard Creek Polymers is committed to environmental stewardship by offering water-based coatings as a compelling alternative to traditional plastic and PFAS-based materials in food packaging. With growing concerns about the environmental impact of single-use plastics and the potential health risks associated with PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), MCP is taking a proactive step to address these issues. Water-based coatings present an innovative and eco-friendly solution that aligns with the company's dedication to sustainability and corporate responsibility.
Tykote is a family of styrene-butadiene, styrene-acrylic and all-acrylic polymer products that may be used as bases for compounded functional coatings. Barrier coatings formulated with Tykote® products are used in a variety of packaging applications to block the passage of substances, including moisture vapor, water, oils, and grease, under a variety of conditions and temperatures. The purpose of a functional coating is to provide protection, a longer shelf-life, and better product and package integrity.
Tykote 1004 is a low surfactant styrene-butadiene emulsion polymer designed as a base resin for functional coatings. Tykote 1004 can be used to compound functional coatings exhibiting superior water, water vapor, oil and grease repellency.
Tykote® 1014 is a low surfactant containing copolymer which can be used to compound functional coatings exhibiting superior water, water vapor, oil and grease repellency.
Tykote 1019 is a carboxylated styrene-butadiene emulsion that has a firm hand with excellent film strength properties. It is intended for use as a base polymer in the formulation of barrier coatings for paper and paperboard packaging.
Tykote 1005 is a styrene-butadiene emulsion polymer designed for use in functional barrier coatings requiring excellent water resistance.
Tykote® 1015 is designed as a base resin for functional coatings. Tykote® 1015 provides high strength and pigment compatibility.
Tykote 6152 is a hard film forming styrene-acrylic emulsion designed for oil and grease resistant barrier coatings. This product also provides excellent water and blocking resistance in barrier coating compounds.
Tykote 6160 is a flexible acrylic emulsion designed to provide a good balance of Cobb resistance, OGR, and MVTR properties from coatings made with it.
