New fire barriers combining the use of two different intumescent paints and a metal laminate structure have been evaluated for the protection of steel. Different bilayers designs have been considered and composed of the overlay of two intumescent coatings with or without aluminum foils. All laminated bilayers were fire exposed in a high heat flux environment (116 kW/m2). The design with two aluminum foils and the overlay of both intumescent coatings reveals an efficient fire protection with a stabilization at low temperature after 30 min fire exposure. This design exhibits much higher performance than that of conventional intumescent coating. Characterizations (cross-section observations, expansion measurements, pull-off tests) were carried out on all samples to clarify the mechanism of action. This paper reveals a new way of thinking, and highlights that working on the design instead of changing the formulation of the intumescent paint allows to reach an efficient fire resistant barrier.
