are vsm belts waterproof?

[bronyblacksmith]

does anyone know if the ceramic belts from VSM or the best vale ceramic belts are water proof?

I use them with water and don't think there are any troubles...

I use them wet also with no problems, but it does seem to speed up the accumulation of black residue on the platen. A couple seconds with a razor scraper or a wipe with mineral spirits brings it back to new.
