Magnesium-Based Cement Board

As a natural resource, magnesium is the 8th most abundant element, constitutes about 2% of the Earth's crust by weight and it is the third most plentiful element dissolved in sea water.

Today, magnesium is a principal ingredient in magnesium-oxide board construction materials. MgO board is the next generation of cement-based building products that are helping to meet the growing demand for improved product performance and eco-friendliness over traditional Portland Cement-based alternatives.

MgO boards possess the following unique characteristics and benefits vs traditional Portland cement-based products:

1. Improved Material Composition

Ordinary Portland cement is replaced with advanced magnesium cement.

2. Eco-Friendly Materials

MgO board is deemed to be CO2 (greenhouse gas) emission friendly and requires less fossil fuel to manufacture vs Portland cement-based products.

3. Contractor Friendly

Non-toxic material that is safe to cut and lightweight with excellent workability.

4. Super Performance

Exceptional durability, resistance to fire, moisture, and wood boring insects plus a 20-year limited warranty.

MgO boards can be used in the same ways as gypsum and Portland cement sheathings. The possible uses of MgO board are wide-ranging and include:

  • * Trim, facia, and soffits
  • * Tile backer board
  • * Structural sheathing for wood or metal stud walls
  • * Fire walls
  • * Structural panels designed to use MgO board as the facing
  • * Substrates for coatings such as stucco
