Title: Can Dowex-501-X8 (D) mixed-bed ion exchange resin degrade?

I have a bottle of mixed bed ion exchange resin from 1999, which I had not used in a long time, until I tried an exploratory experiment a few days ago.  The experiment was neither a total success, nor a total failure.  The beads behave as though they were charged with static electricity.  The indicating beads should be blue, but they don't seem as blue as I remember them.  Thoughts?
