Do you care about indoor air quality? Are you looking for breathable materials for your home, office, or industrial space? If you answered yes, then you're in the right place! Today, we'll explore the importance of magnesium oxide boards' breathable feature!Can MgO Boards Breathe? Unveiling the Walls' Hidden TalentYes, most MgO boards are breathable. This means they let moisture pass through but not liquid water. The level of breathability can vary depending on the type of MgO board. Breathability is important because it prevents moisture from building up inside walls and ceilings.MgO Boards Prevent Moisture AccumulationBreathable materials let moisture escape from inside the building. That way, it does not create condensation on the walls and ceilings. This helps stop mold, wood rot, and other moisture-related...

Have you ever wondered what the MgO board is made from? Most people know that the abbreviation MgO stands for magnesium oxide. However, that is not the only raw material used to make these boards! Today, I'll give you all the information needed on raw materials for the MgO board, plus more!Raw Materials behind MgO BoardsThe raw materials for MgO boards include magnesium oxide, fillers, and bonding agents. Common fillers are perlite, vermiculite, wood fibers, and fiberglass mesh. Bonding agents can be magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride.Magnesium OxideMagnesium oxide is the basic or primary component of MgO boards, but you already know that! It is a naturally occurring compound from magnesium-rich minerals such as magnesite (MgCO3). Magnesium oxide can also be obtained through the extraction...

MgO boards are made of Magnesium oxide and Magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate(MgSO4) along with Perlite and additives. These substituents give MgO boards strength, durability, and make them a top building material.This blog will delve into the composition and manufacturing process of MgO boards. So, let’s get into the topic.MgO Boards- In a Nutshell MgO boards, the name we hear more often, are sleek and durable building materials. They are fiberglass, which is becoming a popular substitute for Portland cement. Both interior and exterior building construction use sheathing boards, such as MgO boards.Unlike traditional gypsum boards, MgO boards are impervious to moisture damage. This makes them ideal for areas with high relative humidity or wetness. They are also environmentally friendly and support sustainable building methods.MgO boards are...

Construction projects are now easier with the newly inducted boards. However, the variety of boards available in the market needs to be clarified for customers about which one is the best. Having spent more than 8 years in this field, I am about to share the most unexpected insights here. Gypsum board is softer and more easily cut due to its lower hardness and bending strength, and it is also typically more affordable in price. MgO board, also known as magnesium oxide board, offers superior performance in terms of fire resistance, waterproofing, and bending strength, but it is more expensive. When it comes to on-site installation and there is a need for cutting the material, working with an MgO board can be more complicated. Though the Magnesium...

Looking for an affordable yet classic alternative to cement? The non-insulating board serves this purpose and is environmentally friendly. The variety of options puts your decision-making power to the test. Isn’t it?  From my experience, I will share some valuable insights. Magnesium Oxide board is a non-insulating glass fiber material with low density, making it strong yet lightweight. On the other hand, the Calcium Silicate board has shorter fibers, making it very strong. However, it’s heavy. Besides that, MgO boards can protect you from loud sound as they have sound-absorbing material. These fire-resistant boards give an interior a grand look. I will compare every aspect of both boards so you can make an informed decision. So, without further ado, let's get into the topic. Magnesium and Calcium Silicate Boards:...

Actually, magnesium oxide board (MgO) have not been universally banned, but there have been specific instances that resulted in restrictions or recalls in certain areas. A notable case took place in Denmark around 2015, where MgO boards were discovered to absorb excessive moisture, causing condensation problems. The boards used in Denmark were manufactured using a magnesium chloride (MgCl2) solution, which is hygroscopic (meaning it absorbs water from the air). Under specific conditions, this led to the corrosion of adjacent metal components, such as screws and fasteners.This blog will highlight all the possible reasons why MgO boards were banned. From its extraordinary history to its downfall and restoration, we’ll explore everything in detail. Wear your detective hat, as we will find the reasons for the ban.Magnesium...
