Sea Hawk R1-S1 Epoxy Resin, 1 Quart, Clear Low-Viscosity Marine Epoxy System Size 1
Sea Hawk R1-S1 Epoxy Resin, 1 Quart, Clear Low-Viscosity Marine Epoxy System Size 1
Sea Hawk R1-S1 is a System Size 1 epoxy resin: a clear, low-viscosity liquid epoxy engineered for marine construction and repair work. It is formulated for ease of use across a wide range of construction and repair projects, with a thin layer roll-out capability that makes it practical for laminating, coating, and general fiberglass repair tasks. Once combined with a compatible Hawk Epoxy Catalyst, the resin cures into a high-strength plastic with strong moisture barrier characteristics, making it well suited to marine environments where water resistance matters.
The resin is a low-blush formula, meaning it leaves less of a waxy surface residue during cure, which simplifies sanding and finishing between coats or before a final finish. It can be cured across a range of temperatures and environmental conditions depending on the catalyst selected, giving builders and repair techs flexibility to match cure speed to their schedule, from fast cures for time-sensitive jobs to thicker fairing-compound applications when bulking is needed. After curing, the material sands cleanly into a finely tuned shape for a high-quality final finish.
Sea Hawk epoxy resin is sold in system sizes that are color coded on the label, and mix ratios vary by catalyst, so this System Size 1 resin should be paired with a matching System Size 1 Hawk Epoxy Catalyst for correct mixing and optimal cure results. This 1 quart can is supplied as the resin component only; catalyst is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sea Hawk R1-S1 epoxy resin used for? R1-S1 is a clear, low-viscosity epoxy resin used for marine construction and repair, including fiberglass laminating, coating, and fairing work once mixed with a compatible catalyst.
Does R1-S1 include the catalyst needed to cure it? No, this 1 quart can is the resin component only. It must be mixed with a Hawk Epoxy Catalyst in the matching System Size 1 to cure properly.
Why does the catalyst need to match System Size 1? Sea Hawk epoxy resin and catalysts are sold in color-coded system sizes, and mix ratios vary by catalyst, so pairing R1-S1 resin with a System Size 1 catalyst ensures the correct mix ratio and a proper cure.
What size container does R1-S1 come in? R1-S1 is packaged as a 1 quart can of liquid epoxy resin.
Is this epoxy resin waterproof once cured? Yes, once cured with a compatible catalyst, R1-S1 forms a high-strength plastic with a moisture barrier that is rated waterproof, making it suitable for marine repair applications.
What does low-blush mean for this resin? Low-blush means R1-S1 cures with minimal waxy surface residue, which reduces the cleanup needed before sanding or applying a subsequent coat or finish.
Can R1-S1 be used for thick fairing compound applications? Yes, depending on the catalyst and fillers used with it, R1-S1 can be adapted for thick fairing compound work as well as thin laminate layers.
What color is the cured Sea Hawk R1-S1 resin? R1-S1 is a 100% clear epoxy resin in liquid form before curing.
How is the epoxy finished after it cures? Once R1-S1 has cured, it can be sanded into a fine-tuned shape, allowing for a high-quality final finish on the repaired or coated surface.
What material does R1-S1 bond or coat well? R1-S1 is compatible with plastic substrates and is commonly used in fiberglass construction and repair projects.
