Can expired Materials cause preform to be whitish? How long can a Pet Resin material stay before its expiration?

Re: Expired Materials
"Expired" is probably a bad term to use. Plastic sitting over long periods of time can become oxidized. This is a form of degradation and it can cause all sorts of issues from discoloration, to processing issues, to failure in the field. Have a MFI done on the material and if your within 5% of what it should be then you should be ok from a structural/functional perspective. If the oxidation is causing the discoloration, there is nothing you can do about it that I am aware of so if the color is an issue then scrap it.
Discoloration can also be caused by too hot of temps on your dryer (speeds up oxidization and degridation).
