This roll of some kind of plastic film was in the garage when we moved into our house. The roll is 180cm wide and very heavy! The plastic is no more than 0.1-0.2mm thick but doesn't feel delicate or thin as it is a bit elastic/rubbery.
Completely transparent but slightly streaky, I tried to get a close-up of the texture;
We haven't found any markings/prints/labels of any kind on either the black hard plastic tube it's rolled on or the plastic film itself. We found the plastic inside the walls of our outbuilding where the man who built it had guest rooms and a sauna. From the inside, the plastic was behind the chipboard that serves as the interior wall, and in front of the insulation. I have no knowledge of materials inside exterior walls, but I assume the man used the plastic as construction plastic/building foil? Because there were no more layers of plastic film in the wall. But after googling endlessly, I can't find any type of construction plastic that resembles our plastic; they are not completely transparent and usually have some print on the plastic itself. I have found "skiktruta" by the meter, but that plastic is thicker, and I've only seen it in 140cm width. Plus, it's considerably more expensive than what the house's founder would spend on building foil, based on the house's other material choices and the chimney sweep's review of "snålgubben" ("stingy old man"), so it doesn't seem unreasonable that the plastic might be intended for something completely different than being in house walls from the start. But what?? We think the plastic is great for lots of things, like in greenhouses for growing and windbreaks for the chicken run and such. My partner would like to make a tunnel greenhouse out of it, but then we need to know if it's suitable for that first and maybe acquire more, so what kind of plastic do we have, and where do you find such to buy these days, I wonder?
The partner knows which plastic you mean, he handles it at his job occasionally, but he says our plastic feels much thicker than stretch plastic and like there's more rubber in ours. In pictures online, it seems to look like PVC plastic, but I don't know how PVC plastic looks/feels in real life either, so I'm not getting any wiser from that.
There should be certainly 100 meters left on the roll, the partner thinks, so it's probably a type of plastic you buy a few hundred meters of at a time.

Here is also a picture of my partner pulling it as hard as he can, not sure how well it's visible but it's a bit stretchy/elastic and it's almost impossible to poke a hole in it or tear off a piece with just your hands.
yes, it is just as sluggish as the one I mean. The width probably matters the most
