Built Environments’ Whitepaper on MgO Panels
This paper provides a fresh perspective on the emergence of magnesium oxide (MgO) as a modern building material. We begin with an introduction to basic material composition. We then describe the primary MgO types and modern practices used in their transformation into composite panels. Next, we examine properties of MgO in panel form. Here, we review its advantages in fire resistance, durability, and lesser-known attributes such as coating and surface bonding. We take a direct approach at ongoing quality concerns, especially those involving weeping, corrosion, and general water resistance. Last, we discuss factors that either hinder or hasten the expansion of MgO panels into new markets. No longer a niche material, MgO has found value in all segments of the construction industry. This positive growth is gaining renewed attention from key industry stakeholders seeking creative new uses of MgO. The world now sees its potential. Though still enigmatic, MgO has emerged as a competent material
poised to disrupt the industry for generations to come.
