As far as I know scrubber has an expiry date. Did anyone make a test about this? I can hardly imagine sofnolime in a closed canister can loose its capacity.

We had the similar discussion about sofnolime storage after first use. I hope there is a similar scientific test.

You mean "hardly imagine" ? My practice shows that fresh lime in sealed canister can be stored indefinitely. "Some" time ago ( relatively ten years) i've used a 26kg can of sorb produced in 1968.
No problems. Often we use second-hand medical sorb expired 5-10 years. Same - no problems if can is sealed intact.

PS I know no any scientific test about sorb capacity during prolonged storage.

Sorry, i fixed "hardly".
1968 sounds very good :-)
