ELBASOL is ELBA's proprietary range of SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) block copolymers for waterproofing and asphalt-performance applications.
The ELBASOL range covers radial and linear SBS block copolymers engineered for waterproofing membranes, polymer-modified bitumen, road performance, and adhesive applications.
All products are supplied as crumbs or powder (white to light-beige), in pallets or big bags (14kg or 800–1000kg), with a shelf life of 1 year when stored at ≤40°C and protected from sunlight.
R84 · R89 · R94 · R95 · R99
Star-branched molecular architecture for superior elasticity and high-temperature performance. Ideal for waterproofing membranes and premium PMB applications.
L84 · L89 · L92 · L94
Linear diblock/triblock structure for excellent processability and consistent bitumen modification. Optimised for road-grade PMB and general-purpose applications.
Radial and linear SBS grades for waterproofing membranes, polymer-modified bitumen, road performance, and selected adhesive applications.
High-temperature elasticity and membrane performance for waterproofing, PMB, and selected adhesive use cases.
Processability and balanced modification performance for road-grade PMB and general SBS applications.

SBS-modified bitumen membranes for flat roofs, foundations, tunnels, and below-grade structures. Superior flexibility at low temperatures and resistance to fatigue cracking.
Enhanced rutting resistance, improved elasticity, and extended pavement life. ELBASOL grades are engineered for PMB production across a range of performance specifications.
High-traffic road surfacing, airport runways, and bridge deck waterproofing demand polymers that resist deformation under load and temperature extremes.
