WARNING
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
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. 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.
•
BE AWARE of CARC paint exposure symptoms; symptoms can occur a few days after initial
exposure. Seek medical help immediately if symptoms are detected.
•
DO NOT grind or sand painted equipment without high-efficiency air-purifying respirators in
use.
•
DO NOT let skin or eyes come in contact with CARC paint. Always wear protective equipment
(gloves, ventilation mask, safety goggles, etc.).
•
DO NOT use CARC paint without adequate ventilation.
•
NEVER weld or cut CARC-coated materials.
