Indian men edit
This expression is very vague, somewhat odd, and it is not even correctly written: "Now there is new paper is developed by Indian men." There's no source for this information either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.75.108.196 (talk) 12:21, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
Merge/Redirect proposal edit
- I am interested in what is called "waterproof paper." I have seen it mentioned in instructions for making survival kits. But I have never bought any from a camping or outdoors store. Is it actually paper? Or should this page be merged or redirected to Tyvek or Teslin? Is there someone who has more information/sources that can help?
Merge - Wet Strength edit
This article should be merged into the article on Wet strength. It is a better article with a moe realistic title. Rlsheehan (talk) 13:48, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Undone Waterproofing of paper is not the same as wet strength. Wet strength is related to both internal and external sizing. This is a poor article we have to work more with it. Waterproofing of paper is more related to liquid packaging board. Langbein Rise (talk) 09:37, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
- This is a very weak article and needs revision/deletion/merging. The title "waterproof" is an absolute term that should perhaps be "water resistant". In addition it is cloesly related to "wet strength". Wet strength is a property that can be achieved by several methods. Yes, coated papers often have the characteristic of wet strength.
- Do not delete a merger proposal until there is a consensus.

- I have added merge to proposal in the wet strength article to get mor attention. I looked a bit more into this, waterproof paper seems to be a specialiality coated paper or a synthetic paper. So the paper is not neccesarily based on wood pulps, but might be of plastics or similar to tyvek. Langbein Rise (talk) 09:16, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
