CARC-Certified

In the state of Texas, AZZ is one of just a few CARC-certified suppliers. Our CARC is typically formulated from epoxy or polyurethane and rigorously tested to provide the highest level of protection against radioactive, chemical, and biological warfare agents and the corrosive, decontaminating chemicals used to wash down military equipment.
