The storage time of the plasma activated components depends on the  activation time  and the  material  and varies between a few  minutes  and several  months . Therefore, it is often necessary to carry out tests on site.

Metals, ceramics, glass and elastomers: approx. 1 hour

Plastics (except elastomers): several days, weeks, months
