ABOUT US

Established in 1972 Mid America is a leader in developing high end environmentally friendly industrial coatings for the wood, plastic, and metal coatings. Starting out a solvent based lacquer company Mid America decided to focus on Waterbase coatings in the early ’80s. This allowed us to grow our business to two manufacturing locations both located in the Chicagoland area. In the mid 90’s we decided to focus on UV coatings.

It is the goal of Mid America to give all our customers the best products and service available while keeping in mind the environment. We will custom manufacture a coating to meet the specific needs of our customers. As a medium-size manufacturer, we are able to think outside the box and really focus on what is the best product for a customer.

When working with coatings manufacturers their needs to be a working partnership and that is where Mid America shines. We work with you to give you the best possible products, service, and pricing.

Coatings

UV Floor Finish

Built with Mid America’s 15 years experience in UV curable wood coatings our waterbase aliphatic urethane resins offer excellent durability, hardness, clarity and UV protection. Waterbase UV floor finishes can be applied just like traditional coating but have the benefit of being cured by UV lights in a much shorter time frame. Waterbase UV coatings can be completely cured in as few a 2 hours, compared to 48 hours plus with traditional water or oil coatings. Available in gloss, semi gloss, satin and flat, these coatings are comparable in cost with traditional waterbase coatings but provide the benefits of fast cure times and durability of a factory applied finish.
