Why Mgo Board Is Replacing Gypsum and Cement Boards in Global Construction
Author:
As global demand for eco-friendly, fire-resistant, and durable building materials continues to grow, traditional gypsum boards and cement boards are gradually showing their limitations. In 2016, Zhuchen New Materials Company took the lead in developing a new type of eco-friendly building material — mgo baord (Magnesium Oxide Board) ,Become one of the world's largest suppliers of mgo board.
What is Mgo Board?
Mgo board is made of magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, plant fibers, and fiberglass mesh as the main raw materials. It is produced through a scientific process and belongs to the A1 grade non-combustible material. It is not only fireproof and waterproof but also features lightweight high strength, sound insulation and thermal insulation, formaldehyde-free eco-friendliness, and strong durability.
Main Applications of Mgo Board
- Interior and exterior wall panels: Widely used in residential, commercial, and office buildings.
- Ceilings: An ideal substitute for gypsum board in high fire-resistance projects.
- Floor underlayment: Provides a stable base for wooden floors, PVC floors, and other floor finishes.
- Fireproof core panels: Suitable for fire doors and partition walls.
- Composite wall materials: Combined with insulation materials to create lightweight and energy-saving panels.
| Comparison Item | MgO Board (Magnesium Oxide Board) | Gypsum Board | Cement Board |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fire Resistance | A1 non-combustible, 2–3 hours | Poor (improved with fire-rated gypsum) | Excellent fire resistance |
| Water Resistance | Stable in water, no deformation | Absorbs moisture, loses strength | Good, but prone to mold |
| Weight | Lightweight, between gypsum and cement board | Lightest, easy to install | Heavier, harder to handle |
| Eco-friendliness | Asbestos-free, recyclable | May contain additives | Some low-end products contain asbestos |
| Service Life | Long-lasting, mold and insect resistant | Shorter lifespan | Long lifespan but mold issues |
Global Market Opportunities
Australia and North America: Due to strict safety standards, demand for fireproof and green building materials is increasing.
Europe: Focused on eco-friendly building materials, magnesium oxide boards are gradually replacing gypsum and cement boards.
South America: With ongoing infrastructure and housing projects, magnesium oxide boards are gradually replacing traditional boards.
With its fireproof, waterproof, eco-friendly, and cost-effective properties, MGO board is becoming the preferred choice for international construction projects. Zhuchen New Materials Company, relying on years of R&D and production experience, continues to provide high-quality magnesium oxide boards to global customers, contributing to the development of green buildings.
