MIL-PRF-32348 Type III, Class
I Chemical Agent Resistant
Coating (CARC) Powder
Topcoat in Black 37030, Green
383 34094 and Tan 686A 33446 for
registration on the Qualified Products
Database, and may be applied to any
military asset.
Designed to work with a primer to
provide coverage and corrosion resistance to coated parts, these high performance, near zero gloss CARC powder
topcoats help safeguard American military vehicles and the warfighters within
through chemical agent resistance and
protection from detection through an infrared signature. The coatings have been
field tested to stand up to the most rigorous conditions.
These CARC powder topcoats con-
tain minimal to low VOC levels as
compared to liquid CARC systems –
which may have VOC levels as high
as 3. 5 lb./gal. – thus providing sig-
nificant environmental and recycling
capabilities to manufacturers, helping
them meet local regulations. The tech-
nology’s low gloss stability, plus en-
hanced application and curing process,
make it an ideal option, saving time
and money through increased produc-
tion capabilities.
“Sherwin-Williams is proud our
new CARC powder topcoats will soon
play a part in protecting American
troops and military assets around the
globe,” said Beth Ann Pearson, global
products manager, General Industrial,
Sherwin-Williams Product Finishes
Division. “We are also pleased it helps
protect the health and safety of those
who come in contact with the coatings
due to its minimal to zero VOC levels
compared to that of liquid CARC sys-
tems, as well as optimizing the produc-
tion process.”
In 2012, the U.S. Department of
Defense’s Strategic Environmental
Research and Developmental Program
(SERDP) selected Sherwin-Williams to
lead a research and development project
for the use of CARC powder topcoats
in military vehicles and support equip-
ment. SERDP awarded the 2015 Project-
of-the-Year Award for Weapons Systems
and Platforms to the team of industry,
academic and military partners for its
work to understand the chemistry behind
CARC powder topcoats.
