Shelf Life

  • All Cassida grades may be stored by Shell (or our agents), closed, with original seal intact, under proper conditions (covered store room, out of direct sunlight, away from direct heat sources, between 0 and 40 °C) , for a max. of 5 years (Cassida Fluids) or 2 years (Cassida Greases) from date of manufacture.
  • After sale, we advise customers that Cassida should be used (i.e. transferred from pack to machine) within 2 years of purchase. It is therefore recommended that customers mark each Cassida container with the date it was received.

 

In summary, the expiry dates for Cassida® products in sealed containers are:

 

Cassida® Fluids
5 years from date of manufacture

 

Cassida® Greases
2 years from date of manufacture

 

All Cassida® products in open containers should be used within 2 years.
