When equipment coatings have to stand up to requirements
as strict as the United State’s military’s,
Prince Manufacturing has the answer.
For Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm, the
United States military shipped thousands of vehicles
and other pieces of equipment to the Persian Gulf. Much
of the equipment had the familiar three-color "woodland"
camouflage scheme designed for Europe. Unfortunately,
these colors are easy to spot against the backdrop of
the barren desert environment. Needless to say, there
is an urgent operational requirement to repaint equipment
with tan-colored paint to provide desert camouflage
protection. Another operational requirement was protection
against chemical warfare agents.
The military established painting operations in Saudi
Arabia to paint vehicles tan with so-called chemical
agent resistant coating (CARC) paint. CARC is a polyurethane
paint that provides superior durability, extends service
life for military vehicles and equipment, provides surfaces
with superior resistance to chemical warfare agent penetration,
and greatly simplifies decontamination. To meet harsh
conditions in the Middle East and other areas, the United
States military paints vehicles with Chemical Agent
Resistant Coating (CARC) paint.
Prince Manufacturing is fully certified to meet the
military’s most strict CARC requirements.
