You're thinking mm, in which case you're still off. 1 inch is 25.4 mm.

Maybe you've heard of 5 mil vapour barrier or mils used as a rating for strength & thickness in garbage bags. 30 mils is about 3/4mm.

The various Schluter membranes are all great products, the only drawback is the exorbitant price you pay for the stuff.
