Shelf life dates are normally conservative. Years ago we would "requalify" adhesives by running lapshear tests. Don't know if Loctite has a "requalification" test or not. I do know that we have used Loctite chipbonders that were over a year out of

On a lot of Loctite products there is a shelf life stated via a lot number on the bottle. It has been my experience as a distributor that Loctite will in most instances re-certify a product for an extended period of time, sometimes up to a year based

Ask Brain Toleno at "circuitsassembly.com/blog" He's a smart guy and works as team lead at Henkel Loctite. Just don't take him out for drinks.

Hi I am glad Dave replied, I think I might have even met him at some presentation. The problem I have seen and I am sure Dave, is that some users have some shoddy practices, storage etc and then look to the adhesive supplier to cover their mistake
