Besides a rather bazaar marketing campaign, "Like a graceful, yet powerful steed, Celtra delivers exceptional performance," it is interesting to see new material reach the market. "Conceptually like triple stranded DNA" REALLY? As a biologist this is an insulting analogy. Why don't they compair it to ice cream, it shares more qualities with the latter.

First available as blocks for wet milling to Cerac users, or wet lab mill. Then available as pressable pellets in 2014. Looks very interesting, finally Ivoclar might have some competition. I have seen a sample of it and it looks very nice. Now I need a wet mill!

There is no "crystallization firing," but the material is stronger (370 MPa) when glazed.

I would like to know if there is a reaction layer with their pellets? Rep was not sure as pellets have not been released yet. LT and HT blocks available.

Maybe we can get Bob at CAP to test this material for us?
