Why is Zhuchen MgO Board More Widely Used in Australia and New Zealand Than in the U.S.?

As the global construction industry shifts toward greener and safer building materials, Zhuchen Magnesium Sulfate Board (MgO Board) is becoming the preferred choice for professionals due to its exceptional fire resistance, moisture resistance, and eco-friendly properties.

It is worth noting that while the U.S. market continues to rely on traditional gypsum boards and OSB, Australia and New Zealand have widely adopted Zuchen MgO Board, with expanding applications and rapidly growing market demand. This difference can be attributed to the following factors:

1. Strict Building Codes and Fire Safety Requirements
Australia and New Zealand face frequent bushfire threats, and local building codes (such as Australia’s NCC) have clear requirements for the fire ratings of building materials. Zhuchen MgO Board meets Class A fire standards, fully complying with these regions' stringent requirements. In contrast, although the U.S. has similar standards, the supply chain for traditional materials is more entrenched.

2. Market Acceptance and Innovation Environment
The U.S. building materials market is large but relatively conservative, requiring longer certification cycles for new products. The Australian and New Zealand markets, though smaller, are more receptive to innovative materials, leading to rapid recognition of Zhuchen MgO Board’s superior performance.

3. Green Building Policies Driving Adoption
Australia and New Zealand are pioneers in green building practices, with certification systems like Green Star imposing strict environmental requirements on materials. Zhuchen MgO Board, made from natural inorganic materials, contains no asbestos or other harmful substances and has a low carbon footprint, perfectly aligning with local sustainability goals.

4. More Diverse Applications
In the Australian and New Zealand markets, Zhuchen MgO Board is not only used for interior walls and ceilings but also widely applied in exterior cladding, subflooring, modular construction, and light steel structures. This versatility demonstrates the product’s exceptional performance and broad adaptability.
