ELASTOCOAST®
A new standard in shoreline protection. 

Learn how BASF chemistry helped secure destabilizing shoreline in the Chesapeake Bay area. Elastocoast was applied to replace failing rip raft along a boat channel at the Georgetown Yacht Basin Marina.  

For over 10 years, the Elastocoast binder has been a proven solution for protecting shorelines against soil erosion and sediment management. Elastocoast is a polyurethane that securely bonds aggregate into a stable, yet highly porous, three–dimensional monolithic structure. Unlike traditional methods, Elastocoast protects against hydraulic forces and erosion by dissipating wave energy while supporting an ecological balance.

Elastocoast isn’t just for coastlines. The Elastocoast chemistry offers versatility for use in these other sediment management applications: dike treatment, slope stability, erosion control and sediment management, living coastlines, scour, breakwaters, groin and more.
