有机涂料由于其使用的溶剂不同，又分为有机溶剂型涂料和有机水性(包括水乳型和水溶型)涂料两类。生活中常见的涂料一般都是有机涂料。无机涂料指的是用无机高分子材料为基料所生产的涂料，包括水溶性硅酸盐系、硅溶胶系、有机硅及无机聚合物系。有机—无机复合涂料有两种复合形式，一种是涂料在生产时采用有机材料和无机材料共同作为基料，形成复合涂料;另一种是有机涂料和无机涂料在装饰施工时相互结合。
Classification of powder coatings by building coating base material
Category base material: can be divided into the organic coating, inorganic coating, organic inorganic compound coating.
Organic coatings due to the use of the solvent is different, and is divided into the organic solvent coating and organic water (including water emulsion and water-soluble coating two kinds). Life in common coatings are generally organic coatings. Inorganic coating refers to the use of inorganic polymer material as base material production of coatings, including water soluble organic and inorganic silicate, silica sol, polymer system. Organic inorganic compound coating has two kinds of composite forms, one is coating in production using organic material and inorganic material as base material together, forming a composite coating; the other is a organic coatings and inorganic coating combined with each other in the decoration construction.
