A Strong Tradition of Research and Development
Research into new and better ways to protect the infrastructure we all depend upon has been fundamental to the growth and success of Madison Chemical Industries. Year in and year out, we spend about 6% of our total revenue on all aspects of Research; this is many times higher than the industry average.
Advancements in polyurethane coating technology over three decades have made us a leader in the coatings industry. Specifiers, engineers and applicators rely on our proven products, and upon our reputation for providing advanced solutions to protection from corrosion, abrasion, chemical attack, and wear.
In recent years, we have grown well beyond those original core competencies. We have developed and commercialized state-of-the-art epoxy and acrylic technologies. Our depth of knowledge with respect to additives and performance enhancers is world class. Recent innovations include No-Blast technology, which, as the name suggests, provides a revolutionary alternative to abrasive blasting. Our waterborne products are among the most advanced. Our Zinc Rich Primer technology is in a class by itself. We have the world’s only one-coat systems for wind towers that exceed the toughest international standards. Our MicroSpear Anti-Microbial technology is unique in that it keeps performing for the life of the coating. Our Nano-Shield ceramic technology greatly toughens coating products into which it is incorporated. We have the world’s most advanced systems for the coating of galvanized structures.
Our in-house research and development team ensures that we always provide leading edge, cost effective solutions. Our product line is constantly under development as we enhance the performance characteristics and quality of our coatings, and ensure their minimal impact on the environment they're designed to protect.

The Quality Advantage
Quality has become part of our DNA over the years. The drive to become ISO certified back in the 1990’s was staff driven; it was bottom up, not top down. Since then, as ISO standards have changed and evolved, we were at the front of the line. When the latest version of ISO-9001 was announced back in 2008, we were one of the first companies to upgrade. Making promises is easy; having the grass roots will and the discipline to back them up is something entirely different. When you purchase a Madison coating or lining, you receive more than just a quality product. You benefit from the longevity, value, and peace of mind formulated into every drop.
In practical terms, this is what it all means to you, our customer:
