Product Introduction
MGO Tile backer
MGO Tile Backer (Magnesium Oxide Tile Backer Board) is an inorganic mineral board with magnesium oxide as its core material. It is specially designed to provide a high-strength, stable, moisture-proof and fireproof substrate for tile installation, making it an ideal backing material for wet and high-temperature areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, and swimming pools.
Advantages of MGO Tile backer
Waterproof & Moisture-resistant
Ultra-low water absorption (≤0.5%). No expansion, softening or deformation even under long-term moisture or water immersion.
Mold resistance Grade 0 (highest level).
Suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, laundries, swimming pools, basements and other wet areas.
Fireproof & Non-combustible
Class A1 non-combustible (highest fire rating). No combustion at 800°C, no open flame at 1200°C.
No toxic smoke when exposed to fire. Fire resistance up to 3–4 hours.
Ideal for kitchens, fireplaces and fire separation walls.
High Strength & Stability
Lightweight but high-strength: Density 0.8–1.2 g/cm³ (about 60% lighter than cement board), with much higher bending and impact strength than gypsum board.
Excellent dimensional stability: Strength retention ≥95% under wet-dry or freeze-thaw cycles.
Good crack resistance: Fiberglass-reinforced, prevents tile hollowing or falling off.
Easy Installation
Can be cut, nailed, drilled and bonded with common tools.
Smooth surface allows direct tile or stone installation without extra steel mesh.
Light weight reduces load on framework and improves installation efficiency.
Eco-friendly & Safe
Free of asbestos, formaldehyde, benzene and radioactive substances.
Inorganic material, no VOC emissions, meets green building standards.
