Water-resistant paper?

So I'm at the FedEx store this morning getting some stuff copied for business purposes, and they had a display on the counter for "Water-resistant paper."

https://www.fedex.com/en-us/printing...ant-paper.html

In reality, it is some sort of plastic. Anybody ever tried it for modeling? I have no idea how it prints or how it takes PVA glue, but the samples looked interesting. Had a nice, smooth semi-gloss look to it. Not as glossy (or wrinkle-prone) as coated text paper. Struck me that it would be perfect for airliners.

You can fold it after scoring. No idea if it would keep a curvature if you rolled it.

Depending on the cost, I may take some sheets to our next home, in Honduras. Humidity is an issue there....
