Major Differences between Magnesium Chloride Board and Magnesium Sulfate Board You Probably Didn’t Know


Have you thought that all MgO board components are the same? Well, you have been wrong. However, Jed Panel seeks to outline the major differences that exist between Magnesium Chloride board and magnesium sulfate board to rule out the mindset of a majority of people regarding the similarities of the duo. Initially, magnesium chloride which is abbreviated as MgCl2 is commonly known by the term Magnesium Oxide board while magnesium sulfate is abbreviated as MgSO4 better known as magnesium sulfate board.

The MgCl2 board is made from perlite, magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, non-woven fabric, wood chip, glass fiber mesh, and non-woven fiber. On the other hand, magnesium sulfate is material that has recently been developed from magnesium oxide. Below are the major differences between magnesium chloride board and magnesium sulfate board:
The chemical structure of the two boards- Basically, magnesium oxide board is formed as a result of a chemical reaction that occurs between magnesium oxide and magnesium chloride. The resulting components are better known by the term magnesium oxychloride. Magnesium oxychloride results from magnesium oxide and brine solution of magnesium chloride. Magnesium chloride has the capability of absorbing moisture. Due to the extra magnesium chloride which has not reacted, it easily absorbs water from the atmosphere. As a result, the board tends to be completely damp. Eventually, the magnesium chloride board tends to have a very short lifespan. However, you should note that the chemical reaction has the capability of proceeding further in diverse ways that may be dependent on the conditions of the surroundings.
Here are pictures of the magnesium chloride board after having been in use for a couple of years;

Drops of salty water on a vertical MgO. The board faces for insulation which is filled inside the wall cavity.
On the other hand, magnesium sulfate is a chemical compound which is an inorganic salt by nature. It contains oxygen, magnesium, and sulfur thus resulting in a chemical formula, MgSO4. The magnesium sulfate board, therefore is different from the magnesium chloride board in the fact that it is used in the avoidance of salty water drops coming into contact with the inside of a given structure of any given construction. You should note that magnesium sulfate board neither reacts with water nor corrodes on any given metallic frame.
Tests on the absorption of moisture on the two boards- Jed Panel has taken the mandate of conducting tests for the two boards. This shows that the customers come first as per Jed Panel. Before the exposure of magnesium sulfate board and magnesium chloride board, they were first dried completely for 24 hours at 100 degrees Celsius. Later, they were cooled at room temperature.  It is important you note that Xinlong conducted the absorption of the Magnesium sulfate board as it entirely deals with its manufacture. The re4sults indicate that it took less time for the magnesium chloride board to absorb water as compared to magnesium sulfate board. Hence, you should consider purchasing magnesium sulfate board from Jed Panel due to its durability and the fact that Jed Panel is selling what they have tried and tested and thus offering the best regarding quality.
Analyzing tear drops on both boards- Pieces of magnesium chloride board and magnesium sulfate board were horizontally placed in desiccators at room temperature. After one week, there were drops of water that were seen on the magnesium chloride board. Additionally, it just took two and a half weeks to collect the drops of water whereas it took four weeks for the water to be collected from the magnesium sulfate board.

Conclusion
In conclusion, it justified comprehending that magnesium chloride board is prone to causedamages on given constructions. However, the magnesium sulfate board from Jed Panel rules out the choice of not using the two as it is durable. Nonetheless, you should be confident when purchasing magnesium sulfate board from Jed Panel having in mind that their Xinlong warehouse stands a better chance of clearly explaining the existing differences between the two boards to their prospective customers without fear or doubt. With that in mind, would you not purchase the magnesium sulfate board from Jed Panel? Definitely, you would due to the quality and durability.

Use of Fire-rated Boards for Building Construction

Image
In many of the modern building constructions, we see use of Magnesium oxide boards in the place of gypsum based drywalls. Primarily, this is because you can score, snap, drill, saw, and fasten the Magnesium Oxide (MgO) board to the framing made or steel or wood. It has high resistance to heat and sound which further increases its utility value. MgO boards resist fire One important property of the MgO board is that it is fireproof. That is, the fire rated boards can withstand temperature more than 1100°C for more than 2 hours. This makes it useful for lining the inner walls or refractories, tunnels prone to fire hazards, and fireplaces. You can also use them for external sheathing, interior wall and ceiling board, soffits, fascias, trim material, tile backing and underlayment. You can get the magnesia board in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Presently, they are used as the primary construction material in Asia. They are used for their improved physical properties su

MgO Board and Panel better than Plasterboard ?

Image
When you use light gauge steel frame walls, you can enhance the life and performance using single or multiple layers of wallboard. Plasterboards and MgO boards have similar structural functions, but they vary slightly for different field parameters. The main advantages come to light when the boards are used in situations where there is fire. Tolerate flooding – The surface moisture absorption of the MgO board is not more than 10%(after 24 hrs), which is sufficiently insignificant. The Gypsum board shows an absorption of 30% maximum while the plywood absorbs more than 40% of the moisture. This makes the MgO board moisture resistant. The surface hardness is 6 – 8 units, which make it hard enough to tolerate flooding. The bending strength also is sufficiently high. If the area has light to moderate flooding, you can use the plasterboard construction, but when the flooding is severe or extreme, you must use MgO board construction only. Strength and Flexibility – The ultimate ben

What Can We Do for FRL 120/120/120 and EN13501-1 Fireproof Test With MgO Board From Jedpanel ?

Image
As the proverb goes, fire is a good servant but a lousy master. The saying rings true especially when it comes to homes. If a fire can find enough flammable material, it quickly spreads. Therefore, it's crucial to use elements of limited combustibility on significant surfaces within a room. Using such materials dramatically reduces the speed of spread. This is where fire rated construction elements come in. They play an essential role in saving lives and minimizing damage to property by offering safe egress. They also compartmentalize smoke, heat, and flames. The construction elements are usually tested as separate products by nationally recognized standards. However, there are few cases where the different components are tested together to maintain fire rating. The European standard EN 13501-1 The EN 13501-1 is one of the European harmonized standards. It is one of test standards that have been accepted by countries within the European Economic Community. The t
