The hardener gets it's DARK COLOR from the steel and chrome parts in the Tank. Now it isn't from moisture, light, aging or anything else, just a chemical reaction to the metal parts in the Tank. Now the engineers at Jeffco can't really say what happens to the hardener for they haven't really tested it over time. So if all you builders think your heard it was no problem well just think who you got it from . The only person that will know is the chemist after testing it for several years. This answer won't come directly to us for time is also a factor in the problem and I don't think I want to wait so I asked Michael eng. to look at a new valve. The engineers did agree that the properties are not the same after the hardener turns dark and they wanted to fix the problem for I wasn't the only one to bring up the issue. All I have to say is if I'm wrong then things will be ok but if I didn't bring this to the attention of the engineers and their was a problem later with the hardener then who do you look to for answers. I'm the first to admit I'm not a chemist but I did learn that if a chemical changed color it now has other properties involved and or weakening of the original properties [ how much change is the question ] in the mix and this stuff isn't going in my plane for I want the best , not some hear say without proof.
