Sherwin-Williams announces MIL-DTL-64159 Type III Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) Aerosol is now available for touch ups or other small job applications on military vehicles, ground support equipment and rotocraft. The coating provides vital CARC protection for military vehicles in the field, where a scratched or damaged finish coat – or a repair made with a non-CARC coating – may compromise the integrity of a vehicle’s protection and put military personnel at risk.

A specially-designed aerosol can allows military personnel to mix the two-part coating through a simple procedure that includes shaking the can, depressing a plunger to mix the coating and shaking once more prior to application, saving time and allowing rapid field recoating.

The water-reducible topcoat is Qualified Products Database (QPD) approved and is available in multiple CARC colors, easily portable in 250mL and 400mL sizes. The topcoat combines superior corrosion resistance in a CARC coating.

“This new topcoat offers CARC protection to reduce risk to military personnel in the field,” said Dr. Beth Ann Pearson, Global Product Manager, metal and plastics, Sherwin-Williams Product Finishes Division. “Its convenient aerosol packaging means that there is no need for equipment set-up in the field or a finishing application area. It saves time, is perfect for small jobs and touch-ups, and offers CARC protection for our military men and women.”
