防水涂料由于施工方便，厂家多、取材容易，部分防水涂料的生产设备相对简单，所以是最早发展的防水材料，而且一直沿用不衰。

Because waterproof coating is easy to construct, many manufacturers and materials are easy to get. Some waterproofing coatings have relatively simple production facilities, so they are the earliest developed waterproof materials, and have been used consistently.

涂料防水由于其可以形成整体无接缝封闭层，可以完全隔气隔水，隔绝外界雨水、潮气、一切有害气体对防水基层的侵害；涂料防水施工技术容易掌握，施工设备简单，不受基层任何复杂形状的限制，都可做成连续整体的防水层，大部分防水涂料还可渗入基层封闭孔隙，对建筑物具有补强作用，有的防水涂料还可作为卷材粘结剂，起着防水、粘结双重功效。

The waterproof coating can be formed due to the overall seamless sealing layer can be completely separated, gas water, rainwater, moisture and isolation against all harmful gases on the waterproof base; construction technology of waterproof coating is easy to grasp, simple construction equipment, without any complicated basic restrictions, can be made of waterproof layer continuous whole, most waterproof coating can also penetrate into base closed pores and has a reinforcing effect on buildings, some waterproof paint can be used as a membrane binder, plays a dual effect, waterproof adhesive.

当然，要想达到上述功效，必须由防水涂料本身的质量和防水层的厚度作为保证。

Of course, to achieve the above effect, it must be guaranteed by the quality of the waterproof coating and the thickness of the waterproof layer.

涂料防水还有一个优点就是可以根据基层不同部位的设防要求和结构应力情况进行不同厚度的施工，实现防水材料的经济效用。
