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 of 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 symptoms persist,
seek medical attention.
•If not breathing, provide artificial respiration. Seek immediate
medical attention.
•The following precautions must be taken whenever using CARC paint
or performing maintenance on components protected with CARC
paint:
•Protective equipment (gloves, goggles, ventilation mask) must
be worn when using CARC paint.
