MacDermid,  Incorporated,  a  worldwide  manufacturer  of  proprietary specialty
chemical products and equipment for the electronics, metal finishing and graphic
arts industries, headquartered in Waterbury, Connecticut, today reported results
for  its  fiscal year ended March 31, 2000.  The results reflect the merger with
Polyfibron  Technologies,  Inc.  ("PTI")  on  December  27, 1999, which has been
accounted  for  as  a  pooling  of  interests.

*Pooling  of  interests  accounting  requires  us  to  present  the  financial
information  as  if the companies had been merged in both the current period and
the  comparable  period.  We  do  not  believe this presentation to be useful in
comparing  our  results.  Therefore  we  have  chosen to present our "management
reports"  which  compare  the  businesses  and  operations as if pooling had not
occurred.  We  are  presenting prior periods as they were reported at that time.
Current  periods  remain  the  same  under  either  approach.

Earnings  per share of $0.40 before one time charges of $0.01, are significantly
below  last  quarter's  $0.47  (including accretion of $0.07 per share from PTI)
excluding  one time charges, and equal to the same quarter last year as reported
at  that time. Of the shortfall, $0.10 per share in the quarter is attributed to
three  primary  factors:  poor  results  in  the North American Advanced Surface
Finishing  group, continuing costs related to the start up of the newest Via Tek
facility,  and  a  ramp down of an equipment contract with a major customer. The
North American shortfall was due to factory integration issues related to the W.
Canning  acquisition,  continuing price erosion in Electronics, and the shift to
an  alternate  material  by  a  major  customer  that does not require MacDermid
technology.  The  newest  ViaTek  installation  experienced costs related to the
ramp  up  to  full  volume  production  as  expected; MacDermid now believes all
technical  issues  have been resolved and profitability will begin in the second
half  of  FY01.

Daniel  H.  Leever,  Chairman  and  Chief Executive Officer said, "As previously
announced  we  are  disappointed to be breaking our trend of record quarters. We
are confident we will improve earnings per share next quarter and throughout the
rest  of  FY01. We have undertaken several initiatives to reduce cost and insure
the  factory  integration  cost  increases do not reoccur; these initiatives are
expected  to  amount  to  $0.04 per share per quarter. Whereas we are optimistic
about  our  prospects,  especially  in  Asia and Europe.  We are concerned about
currency  exchange  rates  in Europe and continuing challenges in North America.

MacDermid  Graphic  Arts  produced operating profits for the quarter of over $14
million,  ahead  of  expectations.  Had PTI been combined with MacDermid Graphic
Arts  in  the  prior quarter of the previous year, then revenues for the quarter
would  have  been  up  5%  to  about $70 million and operating profit would have
increased  15.6%.  We  are  confident  about the prospects for this increasingly
important  part  of  MacDermid. As evidence of our commitment to Graphic Arts we
announced  an agreement to acquire ColorSpan, a digital printing company that we
believe  will  further  add  to  our  technology  and  product  leadership."

This  report  and  other Corporation reports and statements describe many of the
positive  factors  affecting  the  Corporation's  future  business  prospects.
Investors  should also be aware of factors which could have a negative impact on
those  prospects.  These include political, economic or other conditions such as
currency  exchange  rates,  inflation  rates,  recessionary or expansive trends,
taxes  and  regulations  and  laws affecting the business; competitive products,
advertising,  promotional  and pricing activity; the degree of acceptance of new
product introductions in the marketplace; technical difficulties which may arise
with  new  product  introductions;  and  the  difficulty  of  forecasting sales.
