Operating and Storage Life
All insulation and jacket materials have a maximum temperature rating that has been derived from industry standard accelerated aging testing. These tests were developed to simulate the lifecycle of one product generation for 20 to 25 years. Thus, we would expect most products to have a lifetime of 20 to 25 years when installed and used within the details on the product’s specification sheet.
For storage, we would expect 20 to 25 years storage life when stored in normal warehouse conditions as outlined below:
- 32 – 95°F (0 – 35°)
- 10 – 65% relative humidity
- No exposure to direct sunlight
