Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Board

Features

Properties of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) Board

Fireproof

MgO boards are non-combustable.

MgO board is a fire resistant, and achieves zero smoke / flame spread. It can achieve fire ratings as high as 4 hours, given the right installation.
No better way to make this point than by the attached video clips of fire tests undertaken.

Waterproof / Moisture Resistance

MgO Board is impervious to water.

When submerged for extended periods of time, the MgO board experiences no dimensional changes.

Resistance to fungus and mould

Microorganisms do not grow on MgO boards.

Due to the high acidity of the boards (pH 12), the boards are resistant to  any growth of microorganisms.
The boards are impervious to insects, including termites, and sugar ants, and is not attacked or consumed by rodents.

Resistance to damage

MgO has a Bending strength of 27MPa, and an impact strength in access of 4.9KJ/m2.

MgO board is a fire resistant, and achieves zero smoke / flame spread. It can achieve fire ratings as high as 4 hours, given the right installation.
No better way to make this point than by the attached video clips of fire tests undertaken.

Lightweight

The density of Magnesium Board is between 900-1300kg/m3.

10mm Thick magnesium boards weights 10,7kg/m2, and is therefore considerably lighter than concrete, or other comparable building materials.

Good thermal isolation

Thermal conductivity of MgO Board is 0.169 W/m2K.

This provides for much better thermal insulation than plaster board (0,209 W/m2K), Fibre Cement Board of (0.349 W/m2K), and MDF Board (0.233 W/m2K)

Dimensionally stable

Dimensional deviation is less than 0.1%.

MgO board retains its excellent dimensional stability, even in damp and humid conditions, and can be installed at an early stage of the construction program, before the wet trades are completed, and the building is watertight.

Soundproof

The acoustic isolation of a 10-12mm board is close to 40dB.

A 10mm MgO Board will provide the same or better sound reduction than a 150mm thick common brick wall.

Environmental friendly

The boards are manufactured using only natural materials.

The MgO board has no chemicals in its formula; some of ingredients are found in vitamins and minerals we take every day.  MgO boards are therefore non-toxic, free of carcinogens, and contains no silica, and is 100% recyclable.
