•
Cloths or rags saturated with solvent cleaning compound must be disposed of IAW authorized
facilities' procedures. Failure to follow this warning may result in injury.
•
Eye shields must be worn when cleaning with a wire brush. Flying rust and metal particles may
cause injury.
WARNING
POLYURETHANE COATING (CARC)
•
Eye and hearing protection must be worn at all times when using power tools for grinding,
cutting, sawing, and drilling. Failure to do so may result in injury to personnel. Chemical Agent
Resistant Coating (CARC) paint contains isocyanate which is highly irritating to skin and
respiratory system. High concentrations of isocyanate can produce symptoms of itching and
reddening of skin, a burning sensation in the throat and nose, and watering of the eyes. In
extreme concentrations, isocyanate can cause cough, shortness of breath, pain during
respiration, increased sputum production, and chest tightness. First aid for ingestion: do not
induce vomiting. Seek immediate medical attention. First aid for skin contact: remove
contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms persist, seek
medical attention. First aid for eye contact: flush with water for 15 minutes or until irritation
subsides. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention. First aid for inhalation: move to fresh air.
If not breathing, provide artificial respiration. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention.
•
The following precautions must be taken whenever using CARC paint:
•
Protective equipment (gloves, goggles, ventilation mask) must be worn when using CARC paint.
•
NEVER cut CARC-coated materials without high-efficiency, air-purifying respirators in use.
•
DO NOT grind or sand painted equipment without high-efficiency, air-purifying respirators in
use.
•
BE AWARE of CARC paint exposure symptoms; symptoms can occur a few days after initial
exposure. Seek medical help immediately if symptoms are detected.
•
Use only in well-ventilated area. Check with local environmental office for methods and locations
approved for painting in accordance with local and state environmental regulations.
•
Always use air line respirators when using CARC paint unless air sampling shows exposure to
be below standards. Use chemical cartridge respirator if air sampling is below standards.
