在廚房與衛生間的裝修中，防水是必須的程序，而在十項強制性國家標準中，并沒有規定防水涂料的有害物限制標準，因此在家庭裝修時更應該進一步加強管理。如果防水涂料含有毒性，那將成為家居中的隱形殺手。
目前，市場上的防水材料有兩大類：
一類是聚氨脂類防水涂料。
這類材料一般是由聚氨脂與煤焦油作為原材料制成，它所揮發的焦油氣毒性大，尚在銷售的聚氨脂防水涂料，是用瀝青代替煤焦油作為原料。但在使用這種涂料時，一般采用含有甲苯、二甲苯等有機溶劑來稀釋，因而也含有毒性。
Such materials are generally made ??from polyurethane with coal tar as raw material, its volatile petroleum coke toxicity, is still selling polyurethane waterproof coating, instead of coal tar pitch is used as a raw material. However, the use of such coatings is generally one containing toluene, xylene and other organic solvents for dilution, and therefore toxic.
另一類為聚合物水泥基防水涂料。
它由多種水性聚合物合成的乳液與摻有各種添加劑的優質水泥組成，聚合物(樹脂)的柔性與水泥的剛性結為一體，使得它在抗滲性與穩定性方面表現優異。它的優點是施工方便、綜合造價低，工期短，且無毒環保。因此，聚合物水泥基已經成為防水涂料市場的主角。
It is synthesized by a variety of aqueous polymer emulsion and mixed with various additives consisting of high-quality cement, polymer (resin) of flexible and rigid cement became one, making it the impermeability of outstanding performance and stability. Its advantage is the construction convenient, integrated, low cost, short duration, and non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Thus, the polymer cement-based waterproof coatings market has become the protagonist.
目前，控制室內裝飾裝修的防水涂料污染，主要需從使用的材料方面進行控制，應首選無毒環保的防水涂料。目前市場上有丙烯酸酯防水涂料和無焦油的聚氨酯防水材料是己被證明的無毒無味環保產品，用這類防水涂料處理過的室內樓面才能滿足室內環保的要求。消費者應到信譽好的市場選材，并選擇有資質的家裝企業進行施工。裝修過程中，只要是經常性存在水環境的使用場所，如廚房、衛生間等，都應進行防水處理。防水涂料的使用，不僅關系到住宅裝修的整體效果，而且與住戶的身體健康密切相關。防水處理是裝修中的“隱蔽工程”，其效果要經過一段較長的使用期才會有所呈現。
Currently, control of interior decoration waterproof paint contamination, mainly in terms of the need for control of the materials used, should be the preferred non-toxic environmentally friendly waterproof coating. Currently on the market there are acrylic waterproof coating and no tar polyurethane waterproof material has been proven non-toxic tasteless green products treated with this type of waterproof coating over the interior floor to meet indoor environmental requirements. Consumers should go to a reputable market selection, and choose a qualified home improvement business construction. Renovation process, as long as the regular presence of water environment using places like the kitchen, bathroom, etc., should be waterproof. Waterproof paint to use, not only related to the overall effect of residential renovation, and is closely related to the health of residents. Water treatment is decorated in the "covert project", its effect has to go through a longer period of use will be presented.
