FAQs of Magnesium oxide MgO board
Q: What construction applications are magnesium oxide panels suitable for?
A: MgO boards excel in several construction applications due to their unique physicochemical properties: Internal wall partitioning: used as a wall separating material, providing good sound insulation and spatial flexibility.
Exterior wall decoration: can be used for exterior cladding of buildings to enhance aesthetics while protecting the main structure from external elements.
Flooring: laid on top of the ground as a leveling layer or heat insulation layer to improve overall comfort. Roof coverings: made in the form of tiles, used as waterproofing and thermal insulation material for roofs. Kitchen and bathroom renovation: particularly suitable for these areas as they are often exposed to water vapor and MgO panels have excellent waterproofing properties. Fire barrier: set up as a fire retardant barrier where special fire protection requirements are needed, such as the walls on both sides of fire escapes.
 
Q: What safety precautions should be taken when using MgO panels?
A: Although MgO board itself is a relatively safe building material, the following points still need to be noted in construction and daily use: Wear protective equipment: Wear masks, eyeglasses and gloves when cutting or sanding plates to prevent inhalation of dust or direct skin contact. Good ventilation: Ensure adequate air circulation in the work area to avoid prolonged exposure to high concentrations of dust. Proper disposal of waste materials: Waste trimmings should be cleaned up in a timely manner and disposed of properly in accordance with local regulations. Fire prevention measures: Although MgO panels themselves are not flammable, it is still necessary to observe basic fire safety rules at the construction site and keep away from open flame sources.
Moisture-proof storage: When storing unused boards, choose a dry and ventilated place to prevent deformation or damage to the boards due to moisture.
 
Q: What are the advantages of magnesium oxide boards compared with gypsum boards?
A: MgO board has several significant advantages over traditional gypsum board: Better fire resistance: The fire resistance limit of MgO board is much higher than that of ordinary gypsum board, which can effectively prevent the flame from spreading and protect the safety of personnel. Better waterproof performance: MgO board is not afraid of water immersion, even if it is in a humid environment for a long period of time, it will not be swollen, mold and other problems; in contrast, gypsum board is easy to soften or even disintegrate when it is exposed to water. Stronger durability: MgO boards are not easily affected by insects, rot and other factors, and have a longer service life. High dimensional stability: MgO boards are less affected by temperature changes and will not crack or warp due to thermal expansion and contraction like gypsum boards. Environmentally friendly: MgO boards do not contain asbestos or other harmful ingredients, which is good for environmental protection and human health.
