What Dynasol Elastomers does

Dynasol Elastomers (operating as Dynasol Group) is a Spanish-headquartered global producer of synthetic rubber polymers and rubber chemicals, founded in 1968 and operated as a joint venture between Mexico's KUO Group and Spain's Repsol. The company manufactures SBS, SEBS, SSBR, BR, Hot SBR, ESBR, and NBR rubber grades, together with vulcanization accelerators and antioxidants, marketed under three brands: Calprene (SBS/SEBS), Solprene (SBS/SSBR), and INSA (emulsion rubbers). Across its 117-product catalog, Dynasol serves use cases in tire manufacturing, adhesives, asphalt modification, chewing gum base, and custom rubber compounding for more than 500 industrial clients in over 70 countries.

Production is anchored in six plants across Spain, Mexico, and China, with R&D and engineering located in Gajano, Spain, where projects such as SPUNFLEX (elastic nonwovens) and CIRCUBOND (EV-battery adhesives) are underway. The company has invested in sustainability credentials — ISCC PLUS, ISO 14064, RecyClass recyclability approval for Calprene H6180S SEBS, and Ecovadis Gold (2022) — enabling bio-circular SBS/SEBS offerings with up to 40% carbon footprint reduction potential. Recent capacity expansions include an additional 11 million pounds of NBR at Altamira (online June 2026) and SSBR capacity in Spain (announced July 2025).

Dynasol runs a B2B enterprise field-sales model with three regional offices covering the Americas, Europe, and Asia, plus an exclusive Mexican distribution agreement with Químicos y Polímeros (QUIMIPOL) for the INSA emulsion line. Pricing is quote-based and undisclosed publicly; sales contracts are typically multi-year and supported by dedicated customer service and technical teams. The company is privately held with no public listing identified, and Dynasol Gestión S.L. (Madrid) serves as the corporate parent entity.
