Yep --- it's likely the same hydrolysis reaction.

If sealed containers are used, Molecular Sieves will adsorb excess moisture and acid vapors, greatly slowing the degradation. Moral of the story, don't store film or dice in a humid tropical environment, or in your damp basement or hot attic. For home "archives", a nice cool, dry, air-conditioned room would be good. ------------------

I wonder if any small volume manufacturers of small plastic items like dice just recycled old nitrate or acetate film stock by dissolving film in solvent to make "dope" and cast it into the new items?
