Styroflex capacitors life

[Ronito6]

Do Styroflex capacitors have the same lifespan as electrolytic capacitors?

Just wondering if I should put them on my recap replacement list:scratch2:

Are you talking about styrene caps? If so, unless they get damaged somehow, they should last essentially forever. As far as i know anyway.

They're good near to forever but one caution. If you spray them with some flux removers and the outside surface crazes, watch out. They'll become leaky and unstable.

Flux danger

That is good to know

Many thanks!
