Magnesium Oxide (MgO) panels are revolutionizing the construction industry by offering superior fire resistance, exceptional durability, and resistance to moisture, mold, and pests. As an alternative to traditional materials like OSB, plywood, gypsum, and plaster, MgO panels provide high flexural strength, increased fastener withdrawal resistance, and enhanced impact performance.
In this webinar, we will explore the structural benefits of MgO panels, their role in fire-rated assemblies, and how they contribute to safer, longer-lasting buildings. Industry professionals will gain insights into the latest advancements in MgO technology and its applications in residential and commercial projects.
Join us to learn how Magnesium Oxide panels are reshaping modern construction with their unmatched strength, safety, and sustainability. After the presentations, there were will be a Q&A session to discuss key points from the webinar.
Learning Objectives:
- Acknowledge the Composition and Properties of MgO Panels – Learn what makes MgO a superior alternative to traditional substrates and its unique material characteristics.
- Explore Fire Resistance Capabilities – Discover how MgO panels achieve 1- and 2-hour fire ratings without additional treatments and their performance in NFPA 285 assemblies.
- Assess Structural Performance and Durability – Examine the flexural strength, impact resistance, and fastener withdrawal performance of MgO compared to gypsum and cement-based panels.
- Identify Practical Applications in Construction – Gain insights into how MgO panels are used in walls, sheathing, subfloors, and fire-rated assemblies for enhanced building performance.
- Evaluate the Moisture and Decay Resistance Advantages – Understand how MgO’s resistance to biological degradation makes it ideal for high-traffic and high-moisture environments.
