You may find these articles helpful, they are a good overview of time

All,
From a chemists perspective (which I am not), is there a rule of thumb on 
how long a chemical that has the potential to form peroxides should be 
kept once opened? Unopened? I will be reviewing regs for additional 
information, but I am looking for chemists (or others with experience) 
point of view. Thanks in advance.
