Polyurethane Solutions for Food Processing Equipment
Mearthane manufactures a wide range of polyurethane products for food and beverage processing applications. These components are engineered using proprietary Durethane® formulations that offer excellent resistance to abrasion, moisture, and chemical exposure while complying with FDA standards for food contact.
FDA-Compliant Rollers and Wheels
Mearthane produces FDA-compliant rollers, guide wheels, pulleys, and drive components that combine non-marking surfaces with high mechanical strength. These food-safe polyurethane rollers are used in bottling lines, bakery conveyors, produce handling, and other applications where clean, efficient movement is critical. Their thermoset chemistry resists water absorption, microbial growth, and chemical degradation.
Custom Urethane Bushings, Gaskets & Seals
Food processing systems require seals and gaskets that resist aggressive sanitation chemicals and repeated mechanical cycling. Mearthane produces food-safe urethane components in custom geometries for conveyors, mixers, and packaging lines. Each part is made to spec, using Durethane® materials designed for food contact and long-term performance in CIP/SIP environments.
Durastatic® Pipe for Abrasive Media Transport
Durastatic® Pipe is MPC’s proprietary polyurethane pipe used in powder, granular, and slurry transfer applications. Designed to handle abrasive media in mission critical applications, Durastatic® Pipe offers longer wear life to minimize equipment downtime. This solution is ideal for high abrasion media in low pressure applications where steel piping and other technologies underperform.
MPC formulates each food-grade polyurethane compound in-house to meet the unique requirements of food industry applications. Our Durethane® materials are designed for high tear strength, hydrolytic stability, and FDA compliance. This vertical integration gives customers more control over material properties and product quality, backed by ISO 9001:2015 certified processes and decades of technical expertise.

FAQs About Our Food-Grade Polyurethane Solutions
Choosing the right food-grade polyurethane solution is critical for maintaining hygiene and performance in food and beverage processing systems. Here are answers to common questions about our materials, capabilities, and application-specific offerings.
What makes Mearthane's polyurethane materials food safe?
Our food-grade materials are formulated to meet FDA guidelines for direct food contact. We use precise controls on raw materials, curing processes, and quality testing to ensure compliance.
Can you produce custom polyurethane parts for my application?
Yes. We specialize in custom-molded food-safe urethane parts. Our team works with OEMs and plant engineers to design, prototype, and manufacture components tailored to your equipment and processing needs.
How does Durastatic pipe help reduce contamination risks?
Durastatic pipe minimizes static buildup, which can attract dust and contaminants. Its abrasion-resistant interior prevents material hang-up, promoting cleaner, more consistent flow in abrasive media transport.
