Ablebond 967-1 Silver Loaded Epoxy use after expiry date
Ablebond 967-1 Silver Loaded Epoxy use after expiry date
(OP)
I have some ablebond silver loaded epoxy (2 part ready mixed) which has been stored correctly at -40°C, however it has passed it's recommended shelf life (expired 28/02/2012).
We have an urgent order just arrived which needs to use this epoxy, we have some new on order however we are faced with an 8 week lead time!
Does anyone have any experience as to whether the epoxy degrades (either bond strength or conductivity) once it's reached it's expiry date? Are there any tests I can do to check conductivity is still okay?
Any help or suggestions gratefully recieved.
TIA

None of which helps you now. But might give you some ideas on how your system could be improved.

I do agree with CompositePro that it 'probably' will be perfectly ok to use, but wouldn't take the chance. Where I worked anyone who intentionally used out-of-spec material would probably have gone down the road.

Are they greater or less than the costs of waiting 8 weeks?
