CARC paint contains isocyanate (HDI) which is highly irritating to skin and respiratory

system. High concentrations of HDI can produce symptoms of itching and reddening of skin, a

burning sensation in throat and nose and watering of the eyes. In extreme concentrations, HDI

can cause cough, shortness of breath, pain during respiration, increased sputum production,

and chest tightness. The following precautions must be taken whenever using CARC paint:

DO NOT let skin or eyes come in contact with CARC paint. Always wear protective

equipment (gloves, ventilation mask, safety goggles, etc).

DO NOT use CARC paint without adequate ventilation.

NEVER weld or cut CARC-coated materials.

initial exposure. Seek medical help immediately if symptoms are detected.
