Storage conditions and shelf life for adhesives and sealants are product-specific. Do not treat a date on the label as a guarantee of performance under every condition.

At receipt, record product name, lot, receipt and expiry dates; confirm storage conditions from the label and technical sheet. Relate readings to the area where stock is held and the time window involved. Review the SDS separately for storage and safe handling.

Set stock placement and rotation according to supplier instructions. If a condition was exceeded, flag and segregate the lot in the inventory system; document usability decisions from the supplier or authorised quality lead.
