Custom Solutions

PDM Core Manufacturing Capability

Custom Solutions

Have odd geometries, harsh operating chemicals, high UV exposure, or ultra-low temperature requirements? PDM Industries is built on custom problem solving. Since 1975, we have maintained a specialized R&D lab in Michigan to formulate bespoke vinyl plastisols, engineer custom mold fixtures, and create prototype batches to confirm full manufacturing design parameters.

Formulation Bank

120+ Alloys

Rapid Tooling

48 Hours

Mil-Spec Match

Full Auditing

Flame Rating

UL 94 V-0

Production Process Line Steps & Quality Controls

Rigorous sequence executed inside our 20,000 sq ft Traverse City plant.

Engineering Consultation

We analyze your CAD drawings, chemical exposure guidelines, ambient temperature fields, and target durometer limits.

Bespoke Chemical Formulating

Our lab compounds unique raw liquid resins to achieve specific tensile profiles, flame retardancy (UL 94), static-dissipative limits, or glowing tags.

Rapid CNC Test Tooling

Using standard aluminum or steel alloys, we produce rapid test mandrels in-house to verify vinyl shrinkage factors and curing behavior.

Prototype Batch Dipping

We run a primary pilot batch on our manufacturing line, auditing the coat thickness, finish aesthetics, and elastic pull-strength standards.

Production Integration & Dispatch

Once you approve the initial prototypes, we integrate the formula setup into our 24/7 manufacturing line for consistent high-volume delivery.

Formulated Materials Options

  • Extreme UV resistance (anti-oxidant stabilizers prevent cracking and fading)
  • High dielectric vinyl polymer (protects operators up to 15,000 volts)
  • UL 94 V-0 fire resistant vinyl (self-extinguishes within seconds of flare)
  • Anti-microbial and medically sterile compatible elastomer agents

Target Standard Applications

  • Automotive brackets, structural stampings, and anti-rattle body clips
  • Offshore marine rigging, saltwater exposure straps, and heavy diving clips
  • High-voltage electrical grid tools requiring dual-layer warning colors
  • High-purity medical device handle coverings and hospital safety equipment

Standard Engineering FAQs

Q: How soon can we receive prototype samples?

A: With our rapid CAD modeling and CNC capabilities, we can deliver physical prototype samples in Traverse City to you within 48 to 72 hours of drawing sign-off.

Q: Do you supply material safety certificates?

A: Yes. Every custom compound shipment is fully backed by material certificates of analysis, compliance statements, RoHS declarations, and REACH tracking documents.
