High temperatures may also weaken the magnetic signal, and ultimately de-magnetise the magnetic layer.}}</ref>

Moisture from the air is absorbed by the binder and reacts with the resin. The result is a gummy residue that can deposit on tape heads and cause tape layers to stick together. Reaction with moisture also can result in breaks in the long molecular chains of the binder. This weakens the physical properties of the binder and can result in a lack of adhesion to the backing. These reactions are greatly accelerated by the presence of acids. Typical sources would be the usual pollutant gases in the air, such as sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrous oxides (NOx), which react with moist air to form acids. Though acid inhibitors are usually built into the binder layer, over time they can lose their effectiveness.}}</ref>

<ref name="Baker_2006-p224">{{harvnb|Baker et al.|2006|p=224}}: "While many faults are detected at the time an error causes them, some occur silently. These are called 'latent faults.' There are many sources of latent faults, but media errors are the best known. While a [[head crash]] would be detectable, bit rot might not be uncovered until the affected faulty data are actually accessed and audited. As another example, a sector on a disk might become unreadable; this would not be detected until the next read of that sector. Further, a sector might be readable but contain incorrect information due to a previous misplaced sector write."</ref>
