The moistire content in the granule is extremely important to its use.
I have enclosed a small presentation on 'how sofnolime works' it will be the same for other brands.
If the water evaporates out of the granule and then escapes from the container which over a prelonged amount of time is not impossible then that will inhibit performance and this may not become apprant right away but could happen quite quickly. We have to build in a safety marker sure. but note the word safety. Not everything is a marketing scam!!

Thanks to both Steven and Decoweenie for the responses. The reason for the question when the answer seems like such a no brainer is, I am a firefighter/paramedic by trade and have to deal with expired drugs all the time. They are pulled from service at or before the expiraton dates and usually exchanged at the local hospital for new. I am told however that there are places that send expired drugs to Mexico where they are happily used with no issues at all. Obviously the manufacturers have padded the expiration dates considerably to stay well clear of any issues. With all due respect Steven I know that you also find yourself in this situation as a rep for Molecular. So if I can ask a more carefully worded question. What happens to Sofnolime in a sealed container, as it ages, that renders it no longer usable?
