In keeping with all the exciting technological innovations taking place at Madison, we’re proud to announce the launch of the company’s new website.

The site, which went “live” on July 1st, is a significant improvement over the previous version. The most obvious changes are cosmetic; a dramatic visual overhaul to all areas gives the site an updated look and feel. Several technical improvements are readily apparent as well. Improved navigation gives visitors quick access to technical data sheets and application instructions.

We’re also beginning to incorporate video content to better illustrate our innovative technologies. Many of our products are so advanced that one needs to see them in action to fully appreciate their capabilities.

While Madison has long had a color chart consisting of an array of 24 standard aliphatic colors, many of our customers have focused on just a few basic colors. We would like to change that.

We would like you to think of Madison Chemical Industries for your next coating job AND to think of us in color for your industrial coatings requirements. With that in mind, we would like to re-introduce our aliphatic color guide (contact us for a copy).

We’ve developed our new Pigment-On-Demand (POD) system. Using our base of standard aliphatic colors, we will be working on this system and hope to introduce this to you in more detail in the next few months.

In addition to our standard colors, we will develop custom pigment blends to meet customer requirements.

A recent project in Oman exceeded expectations, on the strength of Madison’s advanced technology.

Penderlo Enterprises of Taiwan was in charge of the project. They came to Madison for the protective coating they needed to handle the demanding job.

Penderlo were supplied with CorroPipe II TX-15, Madison’s protective coating specially formulated for use as an economical protective lining for pipelines carrying aqueous effluent and non-potable water.

The Oman Water Authority expressed its extreme satisfaction with the result, saying that Madison’s polyurethane coating rivals fusion bonded epoxy coatings in appearance. Penderlo has used the Oman project to demonstrate the quality of their work. Their international clientele are very impressed with the quality of the coating.

We are pleased to report that independent 3rd party tests confirm that we meet ISO 12944 Category 3 and Category 4 standards for moderate and heavy service use. In all, seven Madison products conform to ISO requirements for onshore applications around the world, from sparsely populated or rural areas (C3) to typical industrial and/or highly populated centers (C4). By meeting ISO C4 standards, our coatings will, generally speaking, last a minimum of 15 years before maintenance painting. Some of our products, thanks to ceramic nano-technology and automotive grade additives, are designed to last for much longer. We want your coating system to endure for the design life of the tower itself. Tests under the most demanding ISO Category, C5M (offshore marine), are ongoing. Our goal is to develop a product that exceeds C5M in a single, instant-setting coat.

Maintenance coating, almost by definition, takes place “in the field.” Usually, the requirement for surface preparation implies abrasive blasting and this, in turn, implies a host of negative factors: mobilization costs, logistical problems, heavy equipment, noise, containment, cleanup and disposal costs... the list goes on. On some projects, contractors turn to power tool cleaning, which requires less equipment but is slow and laborious.

Enter No-Blast. GemBond Surface Conditioner eliminates the need for abrasive blasting on a variety of substrates from steel to galvanizing to concrete. GemBond looks and applies like car wash foam and is quite safe to use. It’s surprising, then, to realize that it has the unique ability on metal to dissolve rust, oxidation and mill scale within 15 to 45 minutes, revealing a pristine, ready-to-coat substrate. On concrete, it uniquely degreases and etches in one easy step.

Three years ago, we embarked on a research program to raise the bar with regard to the coating itself. The gains, we realized, would not be huge, since polyurethanes already had a great track record. The big questions were “where”, “by how much” and “what’s achievable”?

In the end, we succeeded in upgrading several CorroPipe products, making them both tougher and easier to apply. What’s more, we developed CorroPipe 3000, which exceeds every pipe coating standard that we have encountered on the four continents in which we do business.
