**Cancelled CARC Specification (MIL-C-46168)**

MIL-C-46168, MILITARY SPECIFICATION, "COATING, ALIPHATIC POLYURETHANE,
CHEMICAL AGENT RESISTANT", was cancelled on Aug 17, 2005. This
specification covered both camouflage and non-camouflage chemical agent
resistant aliphatic polyurethane coating for use as a finish coat on
military combat equipment. It was cancelled because technology
introduced products with improved durability and lower VOCs.

Approximately 70 NSN's were cancelled as a result of this action.
Although every effort was made to offer alternatives, the following
colors and sizes became obsolete due to low demand.

**Are there substitutes available for the cancelled items?**

For future acquisitions, please refer to the attached matrix, which is
indexed by MIL-C-46168 NSN. Users should refer to appropriate
specification documents, and technical publications, to select the best
product for their need. The specifications are described below:

-   MIL-DTL-64159 covers two component, water-dispersible, coatings for
    military tactical equipment. Approved products are available in most
    of the same color chips as MIL-C-46168; except for those pending
    approval (33105, 33245, and 37031). Components include a base and a
    curing agent with a mix ratio of 2:1 and are available in 3 PT, 3
    QT, 3 GL or 15 GL units of issue. The product is classified as Type
    I, Silica-based flattening agents Type II, Polymeric flattening
    agents, or Type III, Self contained portable kits (Type III kits
    contain Type II material). Type II agents offer greater durability
    and resistance over Type I agents. The materials have a maximum
    volatile organics compound (VOC) content of 220 g/L (1.8lb/gal).

-   MIL-DTL-53039 covers single component, coatings for military
    tactical equipment. Approved products are available in 7 of the 19
    color chips from MIL-C-46168 (please refer to the current QPL/QPD).
    They are available in 1 QT, 1 GL, or 5 GL units of issue. Although
    the specification includes Type I (maximum 420 g/L VOC) and Type II
    (maximum 180 g/L VOC) agents, only Type I is currently available.

Both specifications are free of lead, hexavalent chromate and hazardous
air pollutants (HAPs-free).
