Hi all,
I'm looking for a resin which is flexible and has good fatigue resistance.
Something like they use in the construction of the soles of Birkenstock
sandals. For those who don't know it, the soles are made of cork chips
which are bonded together with some kind of resin. They don't crack up and
are flexible enough for foot wear. Any one have any ideas? I reckon its a
type of epoxy but don't know what type. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

Got a use in mind? That would help.
