Processing
- Halar® XPH-940 can be used as primer of Halar® XPH-931 waterborne topcoat to ensure good adhesion development. It can be applied with a standard liquid spray gun and can be used neat and without any further formulation. Generally, the procedure involves substrate preparation, application of a thin layer of Halar® XPH-940, followed either by several passes (i.e., depending on application) of Halar® XPH-931 topcoat.

Storage and Handling:
- Halar® XPH-940 must be stored under suitable temperature conditions to ensure prolonged stability. Temperatures lower than 5°C must be avoided to prevent irreversible settling. Also, some settling may occur on prolonged standing and/or heat exposure. It is therefore strongly recommended that the product is always kept at temperatures below 35°C. The optimum storage temperature range is 10-25°C. It is also advisable that the product is homogenized by gentle rolling or stirring once per month and prior to use. To avoid contamination, it is also recommended to keep the containers closed when not in use.

Safety and Toxicology:
- Before using Halar® melt processable fluoropolymer resins consult the product - Material Safety Data Sheet and follow all label directions and handling precautions. As with all fluoropolymer materials, handling and processing should only be carried out in well ventilated areas. Vapor extractor units should be installed above processing equipment. Fumes must not be inhaled and eye and skin contact ought to be avoided. In case of skin contact, wash with soap and water. In case of eye contact flush with water immediately and seek medical help. Do not smoke in areas contaminated with powder, vapor or fumes.
