Thanks to those of you who replied to my inquiry about the material that Reise Know-How maps are printed on. I just thought I'd give an update in case others may have been curious, too.
I received the response below from the company. I intend to describe their maps as synthetic. -- Gwen

Dear Gwen,
Here is the translation of our maps as described on our website:
The maps of the world mapping project T are printed on POLYART T, a virtually indestructible, absolutely water-resistant synthetic material. It can be folded and folded as desired without tearing.
In addition, it is writable as normal paper, non-toxic and recyclable.
Wir wünschen Ihnen noch viele spannende Reisen!

> I recently purchased several of your World Mapping Project maps that are labeled as "rip and waterproof." In cataloging the maps I have to describe the material that maps are printed on when it is something other than paper. I have seen where some catalogers have used terms like plastic, plastic-coated, vinyl, or synthetic. I'm just wondering how you would describe the material. Thanks!
