6.1 Intended use. The primer described in this specification is lead and hexavalent chromium
free and is intended for use on clean, chemically pretreated metal surfaces in camouflage systems
and is compatible with Chemical Agent Resistant Coating (CARC) topcoats. It is a water based
epoxy primer that is HAP-free with maximum VOC content of 2.8 lbs/gal (340 g/l) and is
compatible with chemical agent resistant aliphatic polyurethane topcoats. The epoxy primer will
provide enhanced corrosion performance of 1,000 hours salt spray and 40 cycles on the cyclic
test. This epoxy primer should not be applied directly to wash primer conforming to DOD-P-
