Long Term Ceramic Coating Storage?

Thanks When we purchase liter it’s split between myself and another detailer When we open it we go right to go to the 30 ml bottle
 
30 ml bottles on the way...of course, I don't need as many as you ;)

Thanks again

Has anyone been able to successfully stored an open bottle of ceramic coating over a year?

Curious, as that will affect my next purchase choice of which one to get, or whether to just go back to a sealant (tried to store Mckee's 37 in fridge to reapply to a vehicle previously coated last year, and ran into what I would call, "sticking" issues).

TIA...Eric

We use Adam’s Graphene coatings at our shop. We freeze them when not in use. If you know how to apply a coating properly one bottle will do 3-4 cars so in between jobs it goes in the freezer which stops the process of the coating from going bad or Harding in the bottle. This may not be viable with all coatings but it works well with Adam’s Graphene Ceramic Coatings
 
We store all coatings in the freezer. A scientist I spoke with from Adams polishes said it will effectively stop the off gassing process immediately and will keep it fresh as long as you want
 
I’m putting my Cancoat in the freezer. If it freezes you’ll never hear the end of it.lol.
 
I keep my unused coatings in the same kitchen cabinet as my pop tarts.
Has never been a issue for me
 
Didn't someone say that Gyeon says not to freeze their coatings? That may have been in a different thread.
 
I'm glad someone bumped this old thread. I'm an old school detailer but I'm new to ceramic coating. Yesterday I went to apply Gyeon Rim to my freshly cleaned, clayed and prepped Aluminum F150 rims and i finished the outside of the first rim and was about to coat the inside when I realized that I opened the Gyeon Leather bottle instead of Rim. I'm hoping that that bottle of Gyeon Leather will be ok for a couple weeks until I get time to do my seats.

*fingers crossed*
 
^^I've kept them in a small fridge for years. Never had an issue. Fridge just broke, and shop/garage is AC'd so now I keep them in an organizer in one of my supply cabinets.

*I've heard that if refrigerated, and from going in and out of the cold/cool and into a warmer environment, the bottles will sweat and can mess with your coating with the addition of water into them. I've never had an issue with this, but I took this to heart and figured I'm safer (quite a bit of $$ as you know!) to store them in the manner I was recommended.

Thanks for the detailed reply. I’m glad I asked.
 
I have had success placing the coating bottle inside a mason jar and storing them indoors. I have some DLUX that is over 3 years old and is still liquid.

I have some Dlux that's 9 years old and is still liquid, no mason jar...I did keep it on Funk & Wagall's front porch for a while.
 
I just used some Gyeon Rim on a set of wheels and did a half-assed job on the calipers and rotor hats while I was at it, and still had a third or a quarter of the bottle left....so I put it in the freezer.
