Flexible polyurethane adhesive

Flexible polyurethane adhesive

Flexible polyurethane adhesive

(OP)
I'm looking for a polyurethane adhesive to bond a hard (75D) urethane casting to aluminum, but it needs to be pretty flexible (~60A).  It will in fact be cycling in compression and tension constantly--it's for a automotive suspension bushing.  So an adhesive thats designed for constant flexing would be ideal.  This seems to fit the bill: http://www.gspolymers.com/Data%20sheet%20pages/GSP%201650.pdf , but it's the only product I could find that meets my requirements, and I'm not familiar with the company, so I'm curious if there are any other options.  Any suggestions?

RE: Flexible polyurethane adhesive

I haven't heard of the referenced company, which really doesn't mean anything.
Here is a link to Reltek who make a lot adhesives for plastics and polymers.  I would give them a call making sure you have all the parameters required at hand.
