** The extraordinary advantages and excellent acceptance of AURIGAN in the horse's mouth has been confirmed by scientific research as well as a long-term study at the University of Hanover.
** Aurigan is a special nickel-free alloy, comprised of 85% copper, and 11% zinc which, due to the inclusion of 4% silicon, combines the oxidation advantages of pure copper with maximum strength. This is guaranteed by the unique formula and composition of Aurigan which exceeds the quality of the approved German Silver.
** A high copper content in a bit material does not necessarily result in optimum oxidization. Aluminum and nickel ingredients actually inhibit the oxidization process of the metal in the horse's mouth – slowing down the reaction!
