I remembered seeing a warning about Carc
Here is an exert from a U.S. Sales notice I saw
last night on the internet.
Handle Carc with care!
CHEMICAL AGENT RESISTANT COATING (CARC) PAINT.
Purchaser is cautioned that this item is likely to be
coated with chemical agent resistant coatings containing
trivalent chrome,
lead, cobalt-zinc hexamethylene diisocyanate and other
chemicals which represent a potential
hazard to human health if not processed properly.
The Government brings the following
precautions/ warnings to the attention of prospective
purchasers who plan to disturb this property
in any way: a. Airline respirators should be used for
processing; unless air sampling shows
exposure to be below OSHA/host government standards,
then either chemical cartridge
respirators or airline respirators should be used. b.
Chemicals should be isolated from heat,
electrical equipment, sparks and open flame. Local
exhaust ventilation should be used for inside
processing. c. Overexposure to vapor/mist can cause
irritation to respiratory tract (lung, nose,
throat), edema, dermatitis, dizziness, rash, itching,
swelling of extremities, eye irritation or damage
to nervous system, kidney or liver. Coating may be
fatal if swallowed. xx. PRE-AWARD
SURVEY. Prior to the award of a contract, the
Sales Contracting Officer (SCO) or his authorized
