Magnesium Oxide Based Building Materials

ROCKMAX magnesium cement board is a fireproof sheathing design for semi-exposed exterior wall.  which is made from reinforced magnesium oxysulfate cement, grade E mesh fiber and waterproof polymers. ROCKMAX is leading chloride free mgo passed all the durability test to EN 12467(fiber cement sheathing standard). It is fireproof and cost effective sheathing, highly recommend for tile,brick,stone veneer substrate,ETICS underlayment, alumium curtain wall substrate and stucco substrate etc.

One stop Solution for Chloride free MGO Board

Magenesium oxide board is a innovative fireproof board and became popular for its superior fire-resistant, low thermal transfer, high impact strength, and economical efficiency. However different institutions demonstrated and warned the traditional MgO board has a risk of corrosion in humidity environment, it might damage adjoining steel frame and damp wall.
ROCKMAX team realized the mgo board corrosion problem and persevered to R&D chloride free mgo board since 2011. ROCKMAX mgo board, also called magnesium sulfate board. it is made from natural minerals including magnesium oxide powder, magnesium sulfate, perlite, reinforced by plant fiber and glass mesh fiber.

ROCKMAX use newest chloride free technology to produce 100% noncorrosive fireproof board for steel frame partition. It is class A fireproof, moisture-proof, impact-resistant, low heat conduction, highly recommend for interior fireproof partition board and ceiling.
Rockmax mgo board is breathable wall panel could adjust in house moisture content, not too dry or wet. Dimension stable during moisture move from 30%-90%. It will not mold or soft in wet environment.
