SHELF LIFE GUIDELINE
These numbers represent average shelf life under normal dry/cool storage conditions, away from direct sun / UV rays, and should be used for guidance/reference purposes only.
If the shelf life has expired, products should be carefully evaluated for possible use as originally intended before discarding products solely based on the suggested shelf life. Shelf life (or life span) varies depending on product specifications and compound design.
