From time to time we have received inquiries regarding the storage and shelf life of 
rubber products and components.  These items when properly stored have a lengthy 
shelf and service life.  Our rubber products and components, if properly stored, will have 
a shelf life of five years or more. 
 
The following is a general guide for proper storage: 
 

1.  Store rubber products and components in an area that is as cool as possible.  

Generally, the temperature should not exceed 100

F. 

 
2.  The storage area should be away from operating electrical equipment such 

as motors and generators. 

 

3.  Where possible, items should be stored in air tight and light tight containers.  

A twist top plastic bag in a closed cardboard box fulfills these requirements. 

 

4.  Unprotected rubber products and components that are placed in open bins or 

shelves should not be stored for more than a few months. 

 

5.  Inventory should be rotated to assure that the oldest materials are sold first.
