Just opened a quart-sized Arista c41 kit. As I’m mixing my Blix chemicals, I noticed the Blix B seal has been broken and the seal & adhesive began to corrode. I’ve not run into this issue before but I assume that this means the concentrate has begun to oxidize and expire.

Photos attached, 1-2 of the broken seal upon opening the cap, 3-4 of the bottle itself under natural light, 5 of white residue left on my glove from touching the seal during inspection.

I haven’t mixed it into my working solution until I’m absolutely sure it’s usable but my hopes aren’t high. Is my Blix B salvageable? If not, what are my options?

Thanks in advance! I didn’t expect to make two posts today..
