Application Of MGO Boards Continues To Rise, Becoming One Of The Main Materials For Green Buildings

Jan 23, 2026

Recently, MGO (Magnesium Oxide) boards have been increasingly widely used in the construction industry. With core advantages such as fire resistance and environmental protection, they have gradually become a preferred material for public buildings, commercial venues and residential renovations.

MGO board is an inorganic fireproof panel, mainly made of magnesium oxide and magnesium salt solution as core raw materials, combined with glass fiber mesh and fillers. It reaches Class A1 fire resistance rating, is non-combustible at high temperatures and releases no toxic gases, effectively building a strong safety barrier for buildings.

In addition to excellent fire resistance, MGO boards also feature moisture and mold resistance, light weight and high strength. When used in humid environments such as the southern plum rain season, coastal areas, or wet areas like kitchens, bathrooms and basements, they are not easy to deform or rot. Meanwhile, they are much lighter than traditional cement boards and bricks, easy to cut and install, which can greatly shorten the construction period.

Currently, MGO boards have been widely applied in various scenarios including hospitals, schools, office buildings, hotels and industrial factories. They can be used as partition walls and ceilings, and also meet special needs such as clean workshops and fire compartments. In 2025, the domestic market size of the MGO board industry exceeded 42 billion yuan, a year-on-year growth of over 27%.

With the advancement of green building policies, MGO boards, which are formaldehyde-free, environmentally friendly and recyclable, are in line with the industry's development trend of energy conservation and low carbon. Their application prospects in the construction field will be broader in the future.
