Structural Materials and Porous Filter Materials Resources

Capstan material resources are separated between structural materials and porous filter material. All Capstan material is cross-referenced with ASTM and ISO standards ensuring the highest quality. Capstan purchases material strictly from ISO certified suppliers and has the capability of tracing our products back to the material lot used during production. Upon request, Capstan will send the composition specific to the batch used in producing your part.
