Lack of awareness of the harmful impact of solvent-based fire retardant coating has taken the safety of the people in the building at high risk. Thus, this study was about the water-based fire retardant coating with vermiculite addition as an option to solvent-based fire retardant coating. The formulation contained two different acrylic media and the other three active ingredients which were Ammonium Polyphosphate, Pentaery thritol and Melamine. The significant of vermiculite on the formulation was investigated by ther mogravimetric analysis (TGA). The surface morphology of formulations with and without vermiculite was observed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The degradation result describes the high significant effect of vermiculite in enhance the formation of high temperature residue and the two acrylic media give same interaction with the other additives which indicate in the thermal degradation behavior. © 2011 Asian Network for Scientific Information. date: 2011 official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-79955561148&doi=10.3923%2fjas.2011.1763.1769&partnerID=40&md5=28f791993b58f9495b0b6953b9a4fbac id_number: 10.3923/jas.2011.1763.1769 full_text_status: none publication: Journal of Applied Sciences volume: 11 number: 10 pagerange: 1763-1769 refereed: TRUE issn: 18125654 citation: Zaharuddin, W.A.W. and Ariwahjoedi, B. and Hussain, P.
