    For long, reliable service, the capboards must be able to withstand continuous exposure to the concentrated slurry, which contains sulfuric acid. It must also have the durability to stand up to the electrolytic process.

    The capboards must adhere to stringent shape tolerances and consistently meet high quality standards needed for equipment functionality.

    As manufacturer of the custom capboards, Enduro must be able to design and produce pultrusion dyes with short lead times. Enduro must also have manufacturing flexibility to accommodate fast and sometimes short production runs.
