Design and Operating Principle
ML6 is Meridian Laboratory's proprietary polyurethane compound, valued for abrasion resistance, tear strength, flexibility, chemical resistance and bond strength. Parts are precision molded to final dimensions in-house, usually without grinding or post-machining, and Meridian's mold library often avoids extra tooling charges.
Reusing cores keeps original dimensions and fits, so refurbished parts drop back into equipment without modification.
Integration and Selection
Send worn parts with durometer requirements, and keep spare sets in rotation.
Track wear to schedule recoating.
