No. the paper is used because it is a wicking material and will pull moisture into and out of it. It is an air barrier. It will show signs if it gets wet and then dries. It is very useful as a undercoating material in building because it wicks moisture to a broad area and allows dissipation without damage; it was often used as such over sheathing, subfloors and etc., and still is where appropriate. It is not inferior or a poor substitute for Tyvec or similar- it is a better application in many circumstances.

Who invented waterproof?
We don't know, because waterproofing is almost as old as the use of clothing and goes back into the mist of times. Only in specific cases we know who invented waterproofing of a given material. One of the best-known examples is the waterproofing of mascara, invented by Helena Rubinstein.
Which is less expensive to build a pool with gunite or schockcrete?
Gunite
How do you make gunite?
Gunite, or more properly, "dry process shotcrete", is a cementious product consisting of cement, sand and water. The cement and sand are pumped dry through a series of rubber hoses by compressed air. The water is introduced at the end of the hose in the mixing nozzel and the material is sprayed out of the nozzle at high velocity onto the surface that it is being applied to. Gunite is widely used in the construction of swimming pools where it is sprayed onto the walls and floor to create the pool shell. It can be easily shaped to create steps, benches and other features found in pools. Gunite pros- it can be easily transported to job sites and only what is needed can be mixed, so there is little waste. Gunite cons- One property of gunite is called rebound. This is material that bounces back off the application surface as it is being applied. This material is weak and cannot be used in the structure being built. It must be removed and discarded.
Does cold weather effect gunite?

What is Integral Waterproofing?
Integral waterproofing refers to the process of adding waterproofing agents directly into concrete or masonry mixtures. This method enhances the material's resistance to water penetration and improves durability by reducing porosity. Integral waterproofing is often used in construction for foundations, basements, and other structures exposed to moisture, providing a more seamless and effective barrier against water damage compared to surface-applied treatments.
