Which other thread?

Sorry, Should have written it but we do have a great forum for building materials and construction techniques.
Technology is more meant for technical gadgets

Ok. Thanks.

Which other thread?

Oops. Now I see what you meant. Strangely enough, I feel uncertain. In one place it said
POLYPROPYLENE. Not to question, but how sure are you that it is PE?

 

[Krawk]

Sure.

Just visit the manufacturers' websites. It’s stated in the construction product declaration, if not directly in the product description.

There's certainly some product made of different material. But a common diffusion barrier is usually polyethylene. Cheap and well-proven.

The plastic is a polyethylene and an additive is added to make the plastic more age-resistant, also coloring the plastic blue/green.
Do not recommend polypropylene plastic for this purpose as it is stiffer and cracks more easily.
