The rates of thermal degradation and hydrolyses of PMD are probably slow.
“the rates of thermal degradation and hydrolyses are probably slow (Hakkarainen and Albertsson, 2004;Gardette et al., 2013;Gewert et al., 2015).”
From Plastic photodegradation under simulated marine conditions (2023) · cites this paper as Gardette et al., 2013
Section 3.2 (p. 11) reports that one polyethylene sample oxidised more slowly than another at 100 °C, so the paper provides limited evidence about relative thermal-oxidation rates. It does not establish that thermal degradation of PMD is generally slow, and the passages found do not address hydrolysis rates. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
