Elastopave

At Chem Seal Solutions, we bring innovation to paving with Elastopave®, a high-performance, water-permeable surface solution that combines strength, durability, and eco-friendliness. By utilizing an intelligent mix of crushed stone and polyurethane binders, Elastopave® creates a robust yet porous structure that allows water and air to pass through, reducing flood risks and replenishing groundwater.

What is Elastopave?

Elastopave® is a cutting-edge paving solution from BASF that binds specially selected stone mixtures with polyurethane, creating a strong, water-permeable, and highly durable surface. Unlike traditional sealed pavements, Elastopave® promotes natural drainage, preventing puddles, surface erosion, and flooding.

This innovative system eliminates costly drainage infrastructure and reduces wastewater charges, making it a cost-effective and sustainable alternative for roads, sidewalks, plazas, and residential applications. With its customizable stone mix, Elastopave® blends seamlessly into any environment, making it ideal for both urban development and creative landscape designs.

How It Works

Elastopave® utilises a unique polyurethane binding system that forms a highly porous structure with interconnected voids, ensuring efficient water drainage and long-term stability. The process involves:

Surface Preparation – The existing ground is prepared, ensuring absorbency for maximum water percolation.
Custom Stone Mix Selection – The blend of crushed stone is chosen to complement the project’s aesthetic and functional needs.
Polyurethane Binder Application – Elastopave’s advanced polyurethane system is mixed with the stone, creating a solid yet permeable surface.
Curing & Quality Control – The material is left to set, forming a durable, slip-resistant, and eco-friendly pavement.

Elastopave® in Action: Real-World Applications

🏗 Parking Lot at BASF’s Lemförde Facility – A 120-car parking lot showcasing Elastopave®’s robust, unsealed surface, allowing rainwater to seep through naturally, preventing puddles and reducing flood risks.

🌆 Hangzhou, China – The Sponge City Initiative – Elastopave® was a key element in modernizing 20% of the city's infrastructure by 2020. Applied on Moganshan Road and West Lake cycle paths, these permeable surfaces soak up rainwater, preventing urban flooding.

🏡 Residential & Creative Applications – Elastopave® is ideal for driveways, patios, and pathways, as well as art installations, outdoor furniture, and stone carpeting for both functional and artistic projects.

Whether you’re looking for a durable, flood-resistant paving solution for public infrastructure, or a modern and eco-friendly alternative for private landscaping, Elastopave® by Chem Seal Solutions is the ultimate choice for sustainable, high-performance surfaces.
