GLOSSARY TERM
Shelf Life
The period during which stored paint remains usable.
INFO
What it is
Shelf life is the period during which stored, unopened paint remains usable and performs as intended. After this point, the product may degrade and no longer apply or cure correctly.
Why it matters
Using paint past its shelf life risks poor application, separation, or curing problems, which can spoil a finish. Managing stock and checking dates ensures only sound material is used.
Where it is used on a project
A consideration in storing and managing materials, ensuring products used on a job are within date and in good condition.
How NECC approaches it
We manage and store materials properly and use products within their shelf life, so every coating we apply performs as the manufacturer intended.
