Need help choosing an adhesive

[magnasanti]

First alittle about the application. The adhesive is for a transducer. The adhesive will bond Carbon fiber to neoprene foam. The glue should be dampning, strong, and flexible while providing excellent sealing properties. I have attached an image of the application. The carbon fiber is clearly visible and the rubber sticks right behind it. as you can see there is a white "blooming" whihch leads me to think it is urethane. Although I will need a urethane adhesive with all of the above properties. Does anyone know of any brand or other adhesives I can try.

Start by quantifying dampening, strong, flexible and excellent sealing.

For flexible adhesives, the other options are acrylic and silicone. Brands include 3M, Loctite, Devcon, Masterbond...

I see blobs of what I'd bet a fair parcel is clear silicone caulking in the slots of the carbon fiber structure.

There are flexible epoxy adhesive formulations...which are less flexible than some of the other types mentioned, but much stronger.

Yes you are right that is silicon. Although that is just to seal the air gap the adhesive is to glue the black rubber foam to the carbon fiber.
