What is the operating and storage life of LORD MR fluid?
A. Operating life depends not just on the MR fluid, but also on the design of the device and the level of energy dissipation required of the fluid. LORD MR fluids have successfully passed the demanding qualification testing of the automotive industry and have logged many millions of cycles in real-world applications since 1998. Storage life varies by fluid formulation, but in practice there have been no real-time shelf-life issues; accelerated aging tests confirm that our fluids will last years on the shelf.
