I have a can of OC from 1999. My question is does it get worse with age? Or does it lose its strength? I have a new one as well that I carry at work, I just wanted to let my wife carry this one as a less lethal alternative.

It will still work unless the propellent leaked out. Test it outside.
I bought an old Vault door that was originally installed in the 30's, in the process of moving it we bumped the lock that unknowingly had a glass vial of some sort of OC in it. I can say for sure that stuff didn't loose any strength after 80+years.
I'm sure it was filled with some sort of nasty cancer causing stuff too.
Good thing your lock only had OC in it. Used some 6 year old OC on some non compliant retards the other day. Worked well. Then was issued a new can.
