A unique ivory substitute in a polyurethane matrix - ethical, sustainable and perfected for discerning craftsmanship worldwide.
elforyn® is a high-performance polyurethane-based plastic formulated by BKT Germany that replaces real ivory with a deceptively authentic look, feel and machinability. The material contains a UV dye for clear identification versus genuine ivory under black light - species protection can be this simple.
Declarations of compliance are available for elforyn® and JUMA® for direct contact with mouth and skin. Through our online shop elforyn.de, four elforyn® variants and six JUMA® design lines are available in numerous formats - from round bars and square profiles to plates and blocks.

Material with a Mission
Tens of thousands of elephants are killed every year for their ivory. elforyn® is our answer: a patented high-performance polymer so close to real ivory in appearance, feel and machinability that artisans worldwide switch to it – without compromising on craft quality.
Species protection is the core of the elforyn® brand – since its market launch in 2009.
