HAZARDOUS MATERIALS DESCRIPTIONS
WARNING
CHEMICAL AGENT RESISTANT COATING (CARC) PAINT
Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) paint contains isocyanate (HDI) which is highly
irritating to skin and respiratory system. High concentrations of HDI 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, HDI 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:
•
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.
•
DO NOT use CARC paint without adequate ventilation.
•
NEVER weld or cut CARC-coated materials.
•
DO NOT grind or sand painted equipment without high-
efficiency air purifying respirators in use.
•
BE AWARE of CARC paint exposure symptoms; can occur a
few days after initial exposure. Seek medical help
immediately if symptoms are detected.
Failure to comply may result in injury or death to personnel.
