Chloride Free MGO Board is also called as Magnesium Sulfate Mgo Board, is a kind of environmental-friendly board which is widely used in construction and decoration. It is a new type non-flammable material made of light weight materials. Chloride Free MGO Board is made from magnesium oxide, magnesium sulfate, Wood fiber, Perlite, Small glass cloth and others. the highly purified MgO is used as the main fireproof material, wood fiber and perlite are used as filling materials,  Without chloride elements, solve the problems of light corrosion and expansion. Magnesium Sulfate Mgo Board is fireproof, waterproof, shockproof, tasteless, non-toxic, ice-free, does not rot, does not crack, deformable, noncombustible, high strength, light weight, convenient construction, long service life and has a special performance compound compare with similar products throughout the country.

 Boardply MGO Characteristics Comparison with Similar Materials

Pure magnesium is a silvery metal element (it is shown in the chemistry Periodic Table) and is a solid at room temperature (unlike mercury, also a metal, which is liquid at room temperature). Magnesium is somewhat like aluminum, but lighter. The so-called “mag wheels” on sports cars in the ‘60s and ‘70s were actually mostly made of aluminum, but also had some magnesium in them. Like aluminum, magnesium is usually used in alloy form, particularly for lightweight high performance structures like airplanes and racecars.    Pure magnesium, in raw form, is not stable–it burns–they make flares and fireworks from it. MGO, however, is the exact opposite. It is completely non-flammable and used for fireproofing and as furnace liners.   Oxygen, when combined with magnesium under heat and pressure can produce a stone-like material: MGO. MGO exists in gigantic deposits as raw “rock” and is mined like other minerals. It is ground up into a powder, which is then combined with water to make a cement-like (adhesive) material. About 70 percent of the world’s MGO is in Asia. Other deposits are located elsewhere around the globe, but not all have the correct quality for making sheathing. There is sufficient mine- able MGO spread around the world to make enough “MGO drywall” for centuries. MGO board also contains other magnesium-based components, but MGO is the main one.   

In addition to the base material of MGO, other types of magnesium ‘cements’, wood flour, and various additives are included to improve manufacturing and enhance various properties. Most MGO boards have some type of fibrous reinforcement within the core and/or on the face. Often this takes the form of glass mesh, fibers, or a fine screed. MGO boards also contain other additives to enhance flexibility and weather-ability. In other words, there are various types of MGO boards, but most are essentially the same in terms of their basic composition.   MGO boards are made as individual pieces that are cut to length as they are poured onto a casting tray. The initial set occurs horizontally, but the final cure occurs vertically or with spacers between the sheets. The MGO is cast in a liquid slurry-like form (a mixture of MGO powder, and other additives and water) and sets up by chemical reaction - much like Portland cement does in stucco or concrete. The cast boards are then cured at ambient temperature. MGO boards do not contain asbestos, but some have different types of micro fiber reinforcing. This reinforcing is separate from the surface scrim, and is part of the MGO slurry used to cast the MGO sheets.

The use of MGO goes back many centuries, almost to the Pyramids. It was originally used to make mortars for masonry construction. Nowadays, in many countries, MGO is often used for mortars.   The modern use of MGO to make sheathing panels goes back several decades. MGO boards have been used in Asia and the Middle East on many large, world-class projects, particularly for partitions and fire walls. This new-to-us type of sheathing has a long, successful track record.   MGO boards come in various forms. The thinnest boards are about 1/4-inch thick, while the thickest are about an inch. Sheet sizes are similar to those of drywall.   Various surface finishes are available for MGO board. Some are super smooth and paintable asis, while others are rougher and better suited for non-aesthetic purposes, such as structural sheathing or a tile backer board, or for the application of thick coatings.   MGO board is a “low tech” and “energy-friendly” product. CO2 is high on the list of “greenhouse” gases, which are said to contribute to the global warming phenomenon. MGO production is simple, energy efficient, and produces few “greenhouse” gases. This aspect of MGO, from the standpoint of being a ‘green’/eco-friendly product, would indicate that MGO based products would have a bright future.   

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 liners. • Ceilings. • Soffits. • Fascia. • Substrates for coatings and insulated systems (such as Direct-Applied Finish Systems, EIFS, and stucco).
