Guidelines for the characterization of dispersion stability
...Strictly speaking, shelf life is not only related to the storage time (shelf time), but covers the total life
span, from the production, storage, distribution, to the end of usage period with the end-user...
...3 Predictive analysis
An important purpose of dispersion stability testing is to establish product shelf life for recommended
storage, display and usage conditions...
...Next, stability criteria have to be defined for the given dispersion product, specifying how much deviation
in the stability metrics can be tolerated during processing, storage or usage...
