Hey guys,
I'm looking for a substance (ideally plastic/silicone) that can be applied by being a liquid and cures but does not become hard /remains flexible through curing.

The specs of that substance should ideally be:
  • Very high friction ability (rubber like feeling)
  • durable
  • applicable on many differ  
  • not sticky (glue like feel)
  • no peeling
Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot!

Haven't tried some of your criteria, but perma bond et515 sounds like a good candidate?

A bit more information would be helpful. Are you wanting to apply this to an existing part, what material are you wanting to apply it to, what size area are you wanting to cover?

There are plenty of ruberised coatings out there than may fit the criteria. They can be applied by brushing, spraying or dipping.

Awesome! I basically want to make my football shoe able to swerve as much as possible. The material would then be synthetic leather. Do these information help?
Thanks a lot!

EC's "flexible Epoxy" makes for a very high friction "soft grip" if you paint it on a surface and then apply peel-ply when the surface is just starting to "gel"

I've used this for making grip surfaces on gun-stocks ... it works very well, and in contrast to many of the rubber types, the flexible Epoxy does not pick up dirt or grit, and is extremely durable.
(Long term exposure to UV may be a problem though- )

There are specialized rubber/silicone compounds on the market for this purpose as well.
