Plasticine

The National Archives of Canada has a number of moulds and models
made of Plasticine.  I would like to know if anyone has investigated
the off-gassing characteristics of this material.  We need to
determine whether these objects need to be segregated from other
metal objects in our Medals collection for long term storage.  Thank
you,
