Our expansive tooling library, encompassing a wide variety of sizes and shapes alongside our in-house machining capabilities, allows us to deliver the exact molded polyurethane solution to meet your needs, on time and within budget.

  • Readily available products available direct or through distribution
  • Extensive tooling library to meet your needs without long lead times
  • Complete in-house machining allows for fast and cost-effective custom molded polyurethane parts in all volumes

Quality Polyurethane Without Compromise: Why We're Unbeatable

Meridian Laboratory delivers exceptional quality with every molded polyurethane part we produce. We set the industry standard in high precision, tight tolerances, and urethane bond strength. Our molded polyurethane process guarantees unbeatable quality and consistency.

  • Superior bond strength makes it ideal for high-load and heavy-duty applications.
  • Precision manufactured tooling and cores made entirely in-house
  • Molded tolerances down to 0.001”, including total indicated runout on wheels, shafts, and rollers

Urethane Innovators: What puts ML6 Polyurethane ahead of the rest?

ML6 Polyurethane is the culmination of decades long experience researching, testing, and perfecting exclusive blends of raw materials. The properties of our proprietary ML6 polyurethane is designed to meet the needs of industrial, scientific, and high performance applications.

  • High quality and exclusive raw materials provide exceptional quality finished parts
  • High coefficient of friction provides excellent grip and traction
  • Exceptional wear resistance extends the lifespan and reliability of molded polyurethane parts

Prototype to Production with Fast Turnaround Times

Meridian Laboratory is your single source supplier for high quality molded polyurethane parts, from prototype to production volumes. We have decades of experience and the latest equipment and technology to deliver molded urethane quickly and cost effectively.

  • In-house machining capabilities allow for cores and tooling to be produced quickly and efficiently
  • Cost efficient prototyping with the ability to scale output as volumes grow over time
  • Ability to deliver molded polyurethane parts complete to specifications

Understanding Polyurethane: The Key Advantages

Polyurethane is engineered to provide exceptional properties for industrial, scientific, and high-performance applications. For most applications, polyurethane outperforms rubber, silicone, nitrile, and many other materials, making it the ideal choice.

  • Durable against wear and chemical exposure for long lasting performance
  • Superior noise reduction for quiet operation between contact surfaces
  • Non-marking to ensure surface integrity is maintained between contact surfaces

Precision Polyurethane Manufactured to Exact Standards

Meridian Laboratory’s expertise lies in precision manufacturing of molded polyurethane and our ability to produce unique and complex shapes with exceptional detail. Our polyurethane molding process achieves final part dimensions without grinding, retaining the beneficial outer layer or “skin” of the polyurethane. This ensures optimal friction and longevity, while minimizing the likelihood of the urethane wearing off over time.

  • Ability to mold small, complex shapes and precision parts accurately and consistently
  • Eliminates the need for post-mold grinding operations of urethane
  • Preserves outer layer for increased friction and maximum longevity

Urethane Engineered to Your Exact Needs

Meridian Laboratory offers a wide variety of customization options to fit every need. From aesthetic custom colors to formulas engineered for specific requirements, such as FDA compliance, anti-static properties, metal detectability, and more; we ensure our products meet our clients’ precise specifications.

  • Durometers including Shore A 40, 55, 70, 80, 90 and Shore D 60, 70, 75.
  • Variety of standard color offerings with the ability to exact color match for unique branding or identification needs
  • Specialized formulations and additives, including FDA compliant, anti-static, metal detectable, and more
