Magnets destroy floppy disks what else destroys it?

Floppy disks are made of materials that degrade with time. Material degradation include cracks and chemical changes such as oxidation. Physical force will break a floppy disk. Heat will melt the disk or hasten oxidation of the material. Spilling something on a disk creates a coating that can alter the physical movement of the disk. Other chemicals can react with the material of the disk and change its physical or chemical characteristics.
