MIL-DTL-53072 Chemical Agent Resistant Coating \(Carc\) System Application Procedures And Quality Control InspectionThis document covers the requirements for application and inspection of the CARC systems used on military equipment. It is required for use in the selection process of the appropriate materials and procedures for the surfaces to be painted, and provides additional application, inspection, and quality control information for the below referenced cleaning, pretreating, and coating specifications. This document does not alleviate the need for proper consideration of corrosion prevention and control \(e.g., material selection, system design, manufacturing processes, maintenance and other considerations during vehicle development and maintenance\).
