Many plastics contain low molecular weight polymers to improve the plastics viscoelastic behavior during processing. Over time, these can leave the plastic and coat some cooler surface. The best examples are the low-molecular weight vinyls in many automotive applications --- which give a new car its characteristic odor but coat the inside windshield with a grungy film --- and, eventually, result in the plastic becoming brittle.

The foil may be OK but how about the glue ?
