Sea Hawk Clear Epoxy Catalyst C5-S1, 1.66 Fluid Ounces, for Hawk Epoxy R1 Resin

The Sea Hawk C5-S1 is a clear finish catalyst formulated for use with Hawk Epoxy R1 Resin, producing a very clear coating over fiberglass cloth with exceptional moisture barrier characteristics. It is designed for natural wood and carbon fiber clear coat applications where a no-blush finish is required, meaning the cured coating stays clear and free of the cloudy surface haze that can occur with lower-quality catalyst systems. This catalyst offers longer working times in very warm temperatures, giving installers more time to work the coating into cloth and eliminate air bubbles before it begins to set. It can also be used under Sea Hawk marine wood varnish as part of a layered clear-coat system. The catalyst is a liquid, clear in color, and compatible with carbon, fiberglass, and wood substrates. It is supplied in a bottle containing 1.66 fluid ounces, with one bottle per package. Typical uses span casting, flooring, glass, landscaping, masonry, surgical, table top coating, and woodworking applications where a clear, moisture-resistant epoxy finish is needed. Because it is a catalyst rather than a stand-alone product, it must be combined with Hawk Epoxy R1 Resin at the correct ratio to cure properly.
