    Probably not, nor is it that relevant as this the way they are used, joined to other materials that is so much more important

    It is relevant as to the performance of multifoils for example

    Yes, I thought that, but so far I haven't been able to find any. Maybe Tony's got it right and they are not that relevant

    My feeling---and I have no expertise---it that it's not what you have but what you do with it, eg polythene sheet is only a airtight as the last idle plumber who didn't hack a foot-square hole in it to make an exit for a small pipe...
