Molded Polyurethane for Manufacturing & Production

We partner closely with customers to analyze part failures, understand field challenges, and develop improved solutions using ML6 polyurethane. Our ability to formulate custom polyurethane blends allows us to tailor material properties such as abrasion resistance, chemical compatibility, and flexibility to suit even the most demanding environments.

• Part failure analysis
• Custom polyurethane blends for specific applications

From one-off prototypes to high-volume production, Meridian Laboratory’s precision machining capabilities ensure ML6 polyurethane parts are manufactured to exact tolerances. With both CNC and manual equipment, including automated bar feeders and precision inspection tools that measure features as small as 0.000027”. We deliver exceptional consistency and repeatability, regardless of part complexity or volume.

• CNC and manual machining equipment to support all volumes
• Ability to machine 1-off prototypes
• Automated bar feeders and parts catching for maximum output
• Precision measurement equipment capable of measuring to 0.000027” (0.0006858mm)

Our in-house manufacturing process is supported by ERP-driven process control, giving full traceability and quality assurance. We offer both low and high-volume production runs, custom laser marking for part identification, and streamlined sourcing to keep lead times short and pricing competitive.

• ERP inventory and manufacturing order tracking systems
• Custom laser marking
• High and low volume production

All molds and tooling for ML6 polyurethane components are designed, machined, and maintained in-house, ensuring tight control over part accuracy, consistency, and turnaround times. By storing and servicing molds on-site, we support both long-term repeat orders and fast iterations on new or evolving part designs.

• In-house manufacturing of all molds and tooling
• Storage and maintenance of molds

Meridian Laboratory specializes in prototyping ML6 molded polyurethane parts, enabling engineers to test fit, form, and function early in the development process. With no minimum order quantities, our process supports quick, cost-effective iterations without the delay or expense of full production tooling.

• In-house tooling enables fast turnaround on prototype parts
• Wide range of durometers available for real-world testing
• Direct collaboration with engineers for optimized designs

Parts can undergo rigorous testing and can also include First Article Inspection (FAI) and Certificates of Conformance (CoC), to ensure compliance with application and performance standards. We also perform customer-specific validation tests and material compatibility reviews to confirm ML6 polyurethane meets or exceeds functional expectations in real-world conditions.

• First Article Inspection (FAI)
• Certificate of Conformance (CoC)
• Material compatibility testing
• Customer application-specific testing
• Prototyping

Beyond manufacturing, Meridian Laboratory provides continued support through flexible delivery options, product stocking programs, and blanket PO agreements. Our team is committed to long-term partnerships, offering technical assistance, custom packaging, and proactive follow-ups to ensure consistent product performance and customer satisfaction.

• Ongoing technical and sales support
• Flexible delivery scheduling
• Custom packaging & labeling
• Product stocking agreements
• Blanket purchase orders
• Post delivery follow-ups
