MgO Board FAQ – Answers to Common Questions About Magnesium Oxide Boards
- Magnesium oxide boards, after being securely stacked on pallets, are loaded into containers using forklifts for efficient and safe handling.
- Since the board size often does not perfectly match the internal dimensions of the container, part of the pallets are placed vertically to better utilize vertical space, while others are laid horizontally. This alternating arrangement helps minimize empty space and maximizes load efficiency.
- To prevent the pallets from shifting or tipping during transit, dunnage airbags are placed in the gaps between the pallets and the container walls and inflated to secure the load. For additional stability, wooden wedges or plastic blocks can also be added to the sides or base of the pallets.
No. Our board is water repellent and moisture resistant, not waterproof. Actually there is no such thing as a truly waterproof MgO board. Due to the natural properties of its raw materials, MgO board has a porous structure, which makes it more prone to absorbing water.
Yes. We can ship to most countries and regions around the world, as we have established long-term and stable partnerships with professional logistics companies.
Yes. We provide a wide range of customization options: size, thickness, color, surface, edge, strength, packaging, etc. We can do OEM.
Yes we are able to provide free samples. We only charge a small amount of shipping fees.
It usually takes 21 days from receiving the advance payment to goods being ready for delivery. It may be longer depending on the order quantity.
A 20ft container. For quantity less than this level, the price will be higher.
In most cases we can only ship to your port. Door-to-door service is only available in the case of LCL (less than container load).
Usually, we ship from Qingdao Port, but other ports may be used depending on the actual situation.

Magnesium oxide board, also known as MgO board, is a fire-resistant building material made from magnesium oxide, fiberglass mesh, wood sawdust, and other components. It is widely used in passive fire protection systems for both residential and commercial buildings.
Known for its excellent fire resistance, moisture resistance, environmental friendliness, and non-toxicity, MgO board is an upgraded alternative to traditional materials such as cement board, gypsum board, and calcium silicate board.
We are mainly producing magnesium sulfate board (MgSO4 board), but we are also able to produce magnesium chloride board (MgCl2 board).
The main raw materials of magnesium oxide board include:
Magnesium oxide | Magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate | Perlite | Wood sawdust | Fiberglass mesh | Non-woven fabric
Magnesium oxide boards are widely used in passive fire protection systems for both residential and commercial buildings.
Specific Uses:
Interior wall | Sub-flooring | Fire door | Ceiling | Decorative panel | Acoustic panel | Furniture | Fireplace | Duct
Application Areas:
Bathroom | Kitchen | Laundry room | Office buildings | Shopping malls | Hotels | Theaters | Schools | Gyms | Data centers | Libraries | Highway tunnels
The most common sizes of our magnesium oxide boards are 1220*2440mm (4*8ft) or 1200*2400mm, with the maximum size reaching up to 1200*3000mm (4*10ft).
Suparna magnesium oxide (MgO) boards are available in a wide range of thicknesses, typically from 3mm to 40mm, depending on the application.
✅ Wall panels: commonly 8mm, 10mm, or 12mm
✅ Flooring panels: 18mm or 20mm
✅ Ceiling boards: 5mm or 6mm
✅ Tunnel boards: up to 40mm
✅ Door core panels: typically 38mm or 48mm
Suparna magnesium oxide (MgO) boards have a density range of 650–1400 kg/m³, depending on their intended use.
✅ Wall panels: typically 900–1000 kg/m³
✅ Flooring panels: 1200–1400 kg/m³
✅ Door core panels: 240–350 kg/m³
The standard magnesium oxide (MgO) board features a smooth and flat front surface, while the back side has a slightly rough texture with a fiberglass mesh pattern.
✅ Sanded: The back side is further processed to become smoother and more even. Click HERE to see the differences between regular mgo board and sanded mgo board.
✅ Special treatment: The board surface can also be laminated with other materials such as PVC film to create decorative finishes with various patterns and designs.
We offer mgo boards with square edge, T&G, and many other options.
Yes. The standard color of magnesium oxide (MgO) boards is white. However, by adding specific additives, other colors such as gray, black, and more can also be achieved.
Suparna mgo board is a next-generation building material known for its durability, fire resistance, and eco-friendliness. It provides an ideal solution for both residential and commercial applications. Key features include:
The production process of mgo board typically includes the following steps: raw material mixing, board forming, curing, demolding, drying, and cutting.
The installation method for magnesium oxide boards is similar to that of other fire-resistant building materials. Thanks to their lightweight structure and ease of cutting and screw-fixing, they offer great flexibility during construction.
There are no strict limitations on how to install them—construction teams can apply standard practices or follow their own experience to determine the best approach on site.
Note: An important precaution is to avoid prolonged exposure to rainwater, which may affect the performance of the board.
Below are typical installation methods for interior partition walls and sub-flooring systems, provided for your reference.
Yes, it can — but only as a substrate, not as a final surface layer (façade). When used on exterior walls, MgO boards must be covered with other protective materials.
The packaging of suparna mgo boards typically involves stacking the boards on wooden pallets, securing them with packing straps, and wrapping them with stretch film or plastic bags (customizable with logos). Upon customer request, edge and side protection can also be added.
