How much time does it take to degrade ... ?

The product will degrade in the presence of heat, light and / or stress. The speed of degradation will be dependent on the degree of exposure to one or more of these elements. In typical Gulf summer conditions, a bag outside, directly exposed to the heat and light will start disintegrating in about three to four weeks, while the shelf life of bags stored in a warehouse, in a box, at 30 deg. C, will be about twelve months.
