The US Marine Corps (USMC) uses the various paints within the specifications that makeup the CARC system on their vehicles and weapon systems. Their use includes new system acquisition, field repair, major repaint activities and during complete system rebuild at the depots.
The US Marine Corps (USMC) uses the various paints within the specifications that makeup the CARC system on their vehicles and weapon systems. Their use includes new system acquisition, field repair, major repaint activities and during complete system rebuild at the depots. Using these materials requires the USMC to stay up to date on the latest products and specifications, implement the products and materials that provide the largest return on investment and comply with environmental, health, safety and air regulations. Combining all these factors together can be challenging but is not impossible. This paper will review some of the latest revisions to the CARC specifications that have been made over the past two (2) years and provide insight into how the USMC is implementing the use of these products with an emphasis on their repair activities.
The United States Army and Marine Corps (USMC) paint their vehicles with the Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) system. This system consists of a pretreatment, an epoxy primer, and polyurethane topcoat, similar to many other industrial paint systems, but with added functional requirements (e.g., chemical agent resistance, camouflage, and signature reduction) unique to these paints. The systems that utilize these coatings are also designed for specific capabilities, of which corrosion is usually a lower priority. Lastly, the vehicles and equipment of the Army and USMC typically operate in harsh environments, which are highly corrosive.
