Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) is a specialized military-grade coating designed to protect equipment and vehicles from chemical and biological agents while providing exceptional resistance to corrosion and environmental wear. When first developed in 1983 by the U.S. military to address the need for chemical defense, CARC was created to enhance the military’s assets for durability and operational readiness for harsh battlefield conditions. CARC features a unique formulation that helps to resist penetration by hazardous substances, making it a critical asset for military applications. Today, advancements in CARC technology include eco-friendly options with lower volatile organic compounds and improved adhesion properties, CARC ensures both performance and compliance with modern environmental regulations. At Aalberts surface technologies, we apply CARC with precision, leveraging our expertise to deliver a finish that provides
