Aging affects on ptfe

Aging affects on ptfe

(OP)
We have some extruded bar stock of PTFE that has been in storage inside, out of the sun, under fairly dry conditions for several decades. I don't think there are any aging issues, but I thought I should check. Does anyone have any data showing a shelf life for this material?

RE: Aging affects on ptfe

Stores forever, unlike in service.
