MagPanel® - The Healthiest Building Material

MagPanel® has been designed to replace plywood, oriented strand board, fiber cement and gypsum based sheet building products. It offers superior structural and high-impact strength, stiffness, durability and fire-resistance.

Fire Resistant

MagPanel® is fire resistant building material for commercial and residential construction

Magpanel holds an A1 Fire Rating in accordance with both ASTM E84-24 and EN 13501-1+A1:2010, clause 12, demonstrating its superior fire resistance. It has been rigorously tested to withstand temperatures exceeding 750°C (1,382°F) for over 30 minutes without any discoloration.
Magpanel is also certified under EN ISO 1716 and EN 13501, ensuring compliance with stringent fire safety standards and providing customers with peace of mind regarding its fire-resistant properties. You can review all Magpanel properties test results on our combined testing document.
Magnesium oxide boards in general typically have a 0/0 rating on the ASTM E84 / UL 723 Flame Spread and Smoke Developed Index.
Magnesium oxide boards typically emit up to 30 lbs. of water as vapor during a fire event, helping to cool and contain the fire.

Moisture Resistant

Will not disintegrate when immersed in water for short periods of time

Maintains its structural stability when slightly bent.
Does not warp.
Does not swell.
Does not delaminate.
Long period exposure to moisture is not recommended.

People Safe

MagPanel® is non-toxic so it contributes to a healthier indoor environment

The Perfect choice for people who suffer from Asthma.
Ideal for chemically sensitive people.
Does not off-gas.
Does not contain fly ash, formaldehyde, crystalline silica or toxins.

Termite Proof

Chemical compound of Magnesium Oxide (MgSO4) acts as a deterrent to termites

Completely inorganic.
Contains zero foodstuff.
No termites.
No carpenter ants.
No wood boring insects.

Environmentally Safe

MagPanel® is not made with any toxic materials like benzene, ammonia, and asbestos

Made from natural magnesium sulfate, an abundant and earth-friendly compound.
Produces negligible toxic off-gassing, ensuring safer indoor air quality.
Low-energy manufacturing reduces carbon footprint and supports sustainability.
Sequesters CO₂ during curing, actively cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Durable against fire, mold, and water, reducing waste from replacements.

Environmental Exposure

Construction can take place in virtually any environment, at any time, and in any season.

MagPanel® gains its strength and resistance from very strong bonds between magnesium and oxygen atoms that form magnesium oxide crystals (with the chemical formula MgO).
Mineral based green building material. It is freeze/thaw tested for 36 months.
resistant to extreme cold or heat so can be build anytime of the year.

Fungus Resistant

MagPanel® antimicrobial characteristics make it resistant to mold, mildew, fungus and rot

Won’t warp when re-dried.
Does not degrade in wet areas.
Does not provide an environment for bacteria spores to spread.

Builder Friendly

Builders have been using magnesium oxide for literally thousands of years.

Stronger and more durable than gypsum and fiber cement products.
Contain no carcinogenic dust.
Scores and snaps cleanly and easily.
Finishes beautifully, achieving Level 5 finishes in half the time, with half the mud and paint.
Eliminates blocking due to its unparalleled screw and nail holding capacities.
