ELBASOL is ELBA's proprietary range of SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) block copolymers for waterproofing and asphalt-performance applications.
The ELBASOL range comprises five radial and three linear SBS block copolymers, each engineered for specific applications in waterproofing membranes, polymer-modified bitumen, and high-performance road surfacing.
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.
Star-branched molecular architecture for superior elasticity and high-temperature performance. Ideal for waterproofing membranes and premium PMB applications.
Linear diblock/triblock structure for excellent processability and consistent bitumen modification. Optimised for road-grade PMB and general-purpose 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.
