A composite material comprising at least two substrates onto which a layer of an intumescent composition is set therebetween, the composition comprising a mixture of following individual constituents: from 5 weight % to 70 wt % of at least one carbon source, from 0 weight % to 50 wt % of at least one acid source, and from 5 weight % to 50 wt % of least one expanding agent, the total being 100 wt %, wherein the intumescent composition is active at an intumescent predetermined temperature of from 120° C. to 450° C., the intumescent temperature being less than the degradation temperature of the at least two substrates. Also a use of the intumescent composition for disassembling, at an intumescent predetermined temperature of from 120° C. to 450° C., a composite material comprising at least two substrates onto which a layer of the intumescent composition is set therebetween.
