RE: KOH shelf life?
However, if materials are exposed to humidity or water, the material may solidify or cake up, making certain materials difficult to use. Humidity and water may provide an environment where biological contamination to occur, but KOH is extremely basic and contamination should not occur.
If materials have been open to the atmosphere allowing the potential for contaminants to enter, the materials should probably not be used. If the materials have been in a sealed container, the materials are good.
