The sheets of Donic Bluestorm and Tibhar MX-P I received from Dandoy came naked in their cardboard packaging inside thin plastic sleeves with round perforations. In other words, completely unsealed. Is this normal? Don't these rubbers start degrading the second they're exposed to air. If so I don't know how long they've been sitting essentially opened at Dandoy before they were shipped to me.

Thanks.

The packaging you described sounds exactly like it is for these rubbers. Nothing wrong in the packing. If you buy from a big retailer  chances are that you will get fresh stock as their stock keeps moving

Something wrong with the packaging. They generally come sealed. do post photos.

Thin plastic sleeve with round perforations is the original packaging for MXP. It doesn’t have vacuum sealed, airtight packaging...

When you say sealed do you mean vacuum sealed like the hurricane neo series or just sealed in a plastic with holes for aeration as the OP described. I have never seen any single sheet of these two that came vacuum sealed.

Thanks for the responses, guys. The packaging is long gone. I was expecting them to be vacuum sealed. They weren't; perhaps they don't need to be.

No they are not vacuum sealed. To my knowledge the reason H3 Neo comes vacuum sealed is because it has GLUE pre-applied. Obviously if it wasn't sealed, the glue would harden/dry out over time.

I have just received and glued a MX-P. What puzzles me is how could we know when the rubber was produced?  Is the factory tunning still there? The only way I guesss is to wait and see if the rubber will drop the performance after 3 months or so

If you bought it from a large retailer, e.g. T11, I wouldn't worry too much about it. They probably get new batches all the time.

I got in from Amazon.de. Actually I don't care if the rubber is tuned or not. Even better if the booster is gone cause I like it the way it is. To me more important is to maintain the same characteristics after let's say 5-6 months at least. This rubber stays on my competition blade and I will not use it more than once a week

The beauty of mxp ..besides its price.. is that it requires ZERO adjustment when coming from the tenergy series.  It doesn't feel too hard or too soft, it feels like a slightly boosted t05/t80.
