LOCTITEThreadlocker 242, 50mL Bottle, Blue

Q: what is the expiration date?

Bought mine 3/18/2021. Exp date says, 3/04/2022. So, about a year from buy date, depending on how often supply is refreshed.

Q: Why this product has so short expiration date (1 year)? I have other Loctite threadlockers (in tubes), no expiration date on them.

The date is mainly for.manufacturing companies, but it shouldn't affect home users.

Q: Is the bottle supposed to be sealed? What happens after the expiration date? It is only 6 months. Can it dry or won't work after 6 months?

I have been using Loctite both blue and red for many years. I never had any problems using it when it's old. I didn't even realize that they put an expiration date on the bottle.
