Product Information "Elforyn Super Tusk Blocks"
The next generation of ivory substitute is here. Elforyn Super Tusk achieves an unprecedented similarity to real ivory.
In the development of the latest high-quality ivory substitute, Elforyn Super Tusk, great emphasis was placed not only on excellent technical and mechanical properties but also on achieving a first-class and outstanding resemblance to genuine ivory. In addition to the typical ivory grain and growth rings along the longitudinal side, the end face features the characteristic "Schreger lines" of ivory. These structures are visible even in the smallest applications and create a unique look.
Features of Elforyn® Super Tusk include:
