How do I know if I have fresh HiPURformer adhesive?
First, Franklin affixes stickers with expiration dates (month and year) on the outside of all cartons of HiPURformerâ„¢ adhesives. Franklin also stamps the expiration date on the airtight foil pouches that contain the individual cartridges of adhesives. In addition, a three-digit Julian code denotes the week and year the adhesive was packaged. (For example, the code 405 indicates that the product was packaged the fifth week of 2004.) Shelf life of HiPURformerâ„¢ adhesive cartridges is one year from date of manufacture.
