Magnesium Oxide Board (or MgO Board) is a technologically advanced building material that offers superior performance in every category when compared to traditional wood, gypsum and cement based products. Magnesium Oxide Board is virtually impervious to fire, water, insects; does not feed mold or mildew; is non-lammable and non-combustible; is durable, maintains its dimensional stability-even when wet; and, has exceptional bonding surface. Magnesium Oxide Board is a mineral based green builder product. And it is homogeneous-no de-lamination.

Packing and Loading
Applications:
In many applications, MgO boards can be used in the same ways as gypsum and Portland cement sheathings. The substitution is not fully direct in terms of sheet thicknesses, fastening methods and joint treatments, but is very similar. This makes MgO board an easy product to use.
The possible uses of MgO board are vast, and some of them include:
⢠Firewalls.
⢠Partitions.
⢠Structural sheathing for wood or metal stud walls.
⢠Shower stall tile backer board.
⢠Facings for structural panels engineered to use MgO as the facing.
⢠Shaft span>
⢠Ceilings.
⢠Soffits.
⢠Fascia.
⢠Substrates for coatings and insulated systems (such as Direct-Applied Finish Systems, EIFS, and stucco).
