A:  The mil. is the thickness the more mils.the more thickness would make it more difficult to see through. I wouldn’t refer to it as frosted but I can see your point. Sure hope that helps.

A:  In practical terms, the thickness of the plastic translates into durability, transparency, and weight. We use 0.7 mil plastic for hanging barriers, covering furniture or shrubs, and catching debris (almost like a giant plastic bag). We use 2 mil plastic when something might pierce a thinner plastic, or someone might walk on it for a short period of time. We use 4 mil plastic when it will be walked on for a long time (extended projects, such as covering the floor while painting something in the garage). The thicker the plastic the less transparent and more translucent it tends to be.

A:  The mil refers to the thickness of the plastic. 1 mil is equivalent to 1/1000 in.

A:  2 mil is literally .002 inches. The thicker these products get the more opaque they are.
