Code where I am (TN) and in most areas call for 1 layer of 6 mil plastic.

I use these.....LASCO 03-4307 White Plastic Tubular 1-1/2-Inch by 12-Inch Flanged Tailpiece

You brought up about bad inventory and specifics about PVC or other plastics, the colorants and their lack of value due to specific product manufacturing.
