CARC Powder Coatings

Q. Is there a powder equivalent coating system for carc coatings? If so who manufactures the powder?

A. To the best of my knowledge there are no government approved powder coatings that meet the CARC specifications. However, you might be able to get case-by-case approval to use a powder coating for a special application. Such approval would be issued by the Army Research Lab (ARL) at Aberdeen Proving Grounds, PA.
