CHEMICAL AGENT RESISTANT COATING (CARC)
WARNING
P o l y u r e t h a n e C o a t i n g ( C a r c )
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 areas. 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.
