<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I talked to someone who is doing
enclosure manufacturing, and he said, that basically the idea of
using those soft plastics isn't good. Those materials require so
called plasticizers (softeners). These diffuse towards the surface
at room temperature, where they then evaporate - normally. If the
material is not ventilated, the plasticizers dissolve the top
layer of the plastic quite quickly, which then becomes sticky. If
the material can ventilate, it becomes brittle and fragile.
Neither is a good option.<br>

<div dir="auto">Somehow it seems like sunlight could be one
cause, gear sitting unused possibly another, and also possibly
lack of ventilation (gear stowed away in storage/boxes/plastic
bags). Perhaps also grease/dirt from earlier use. But are
there some facts? :-)</div>
