It is made from up to 25 post consumer recycled goods reground resins and the absolute least expensive resins that can be bought from any source in any location across the globe.
1 grain of water vapor will pass through 1 square foot of the material when the moisture vapor pressure difference between the colder side and the warmer side of the material is equal to 1 inch of mercury 1 in.
Class ii vapor retarder.
The one exception to this statement is the labor intensive process of laminating multiple layers more than 6 in a plywood style stacking to get a lower perm rating.
A true 20 mil will weigh in at about 109 msf thats about 5 pounds of plastic per mil.

Because of its good weatherability chemical inertness and toughness poly america s polyethylene sheeting has successfully been used for over 20 years in a wide variety of applications.
Astm e 1745 currently specifies the maximum permeance rating of a vapor retarder to be 0 1 perms and that it be measured by either e 96 or f 1249 standard test method for water vapor transmission rate through plastic film and sheeting using a modulated infrared sensor.
These membranes have a permeance level that equals between 0 1 perm and 1 perm.
