Hydrolysis and how it Reacts to Hiking Boots



Segment 3, July 20 2024

Hydrolysis or dry-rot is a chemical process where a compound reacts with water, causing it to break down into simpler components. This reaction typically involves the cleavage of chemical bonds within the compound, with water molecules participating in the breaking of these bonds. Many people have issues with unused boots, like a car the longer you park it the more it deteriorates. Hydrolysis is also contagious so if you notice dry-rot throw those boots away and come let the Charlotte outfitters get you ready for your next dry-rot free hike!

Hydrolysis loves to attack unused boots and shoes so make sure to check your old hiking boots out and come get some new ones at Jesse Brown’s!
