Coatings for Repair and Refurbishment of Utility Structures

GemThane’s parent company, Madison Chemical pioneered the concept of using of polyurethane coatings for tubular utility structures over 20 years ago and has led the industry ever since. Throughout that period, the CorroCote II Classic brand name has become so ubiquitous that applicators don’t just talk about coating poles, they talk about “CorroCoting” them. And the acceptance of Madison technology has inevitably led us into related areas, protecting allied utility structures such as power generation plants, transformer stations and most recently, wind turbine towers.

GemThane Division products are designed to provide contractors with ease of use and long lasting performance in a variety of repair and refurbishment applications to carbon steel, weathering steel and galvanized structures. In particular, they minimize the surface application time and cure rapidly enough to allow the structure to be handled or backfilled in a matter of only a few hours in most cases. Finally, they provide years of reliable performance, dramatically reducing ongoing maintenance costs. Click on any of the products at right to learn more about how they can help you maintain your utility structures with a minimum of time and cost.
