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
