Best Answer

Water proof paper has a layer of Waterproofing material such as silicone polymers which are water repellents as the water comes in touch with the paper it flows from it like water sprayed on non porous surfaces. Application of wax is another common procedure, Waxing seals the pores in the surface of paper so it doesn't absorb water.
