Can anyone provide me with some information about why the Ceramic Fiber Board's compressive strength decreased dramatically when getting wet?

Some of these products use a binder and others rely on the friction between fibers.
In either case water would breakdown the strengthening mechanism.
And most don't recover if they have been wet.
