This paper presents an experimental study about the fire protection efficiency of a material
produced of an emulsion of intumescent coating with granulated cork. The analysis is
performed at the micro scale level, with TG and DSC tests at elevated temperatures, and in a
mass loss calorimeter with protected steel plates, with temperatures representative of a fire
scenario. The results indicate that an increased protection is obtained when the granular cork
particle size is smaller and a cork mass fraction of 5% is used.
