MGO board (panel), short for magnesium oxide board, is a non-combustible, multi-purpose construction board made from magnesium oxide, fiberglass mesh, wood sawdust, and other natural materials. It is widely used in passive fire protection systems for both residential and commercial projects.
MGO boards are fire-resistant, moisture-resistant, non-toxic, and eco-friendly—making them a superior alternative to cement board, gypsum board, and calcium silicate board.
It depends on the type of board. We produce both magnesium sulfate boards (chloride-free) and magnesium chloride boards (contain chloride).
However, our chloride-based MgO boards undergo an advanced soaking treatment that removes excess chloride ions. As a result, they do not exhibit issues such as salt blooming, corrosion of metal structures, or damage to other materials during use.

Standard magnesium oxide boards have a smooth front surface and a rough back surface reinforced with fiberglass mesh.
Options available:
-
Sanded back for a smoother texture
-
Laminated surfaces (PVC film, decorative foil) for enhanced aesthetics
We offer square edge, tongue-and-groove (T&G), and other custom edge profiles for easy installation and tight jointing.
Yes. While white is the standard color for mgo board, we can produce the panels in gray, black, or other colors by adding special pigments during production.
Suparna magnesium oxide boards are extremely versatile and can be used in both interior and exterior settings for passive fire protection.
Typical applications:
Interior walls | Subflooring | Fire-rated doors | Ceilings | Decorative panels | Acoustic panels | Furniture | Fireplaces | HVAC ducts
Common project types:
Bathrooms | Kitchens | Offices | Malls | Hotels | Schools | Data centers | Tunnels | Theaters | Libraries | Gyms
Yes—but only as a substrate, not as the finished surface. MGO boards must be covered with suitable exterior materials (e.g., cladding, mortar, or paint).
No MGO board is 100% waterproof. Our panels are moisture-resistant and water-repellent, but prolonged water exposure should be avoided.
The panels can be installed using standard drywall and sheathing tools. They are lightweight and easy to cut, nail, or screw.
Tip: Always protect the panels from prolonged water exposure during installation.
We package the boards on pallets, securely strapped and wrapped with stretch film. Logos and custom packaging options are available. Edge protectors can also be added.
We use forklifts to load pallets either vertically or horizontally to maximize container space. Dunnage airbags and wedges are used to prevent shifting during transit.
Yes. We ship globally through reliable logistics partners and can deliver to most major seaports.
For LCL (less than container load) orders, we may be able to arrange door-to-door delivery. Otherwise, delivery is to the destination port only.
We typically ship from Qingdao Port, but other Chinese ports can be arranged depending on logistics needs.
40% prepaid upon order, 60% balance upon presentation of the Bill of Lading copy.
No. We currently accept T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) only.
We support EXW, FOB, and CIF terms.
Yes, we provide free samples. You only need to cover the shipping cost.
Absolutely. We offer customization for:
Size | Thickness | Color | Surface finish | Edge type | Strength | Packaging | Branding (OEM)
MOQ is one 20ft container. Smaller orders are possible but may come with higher pricing due to logistics.
Standard lead time is 21 days after receiving the advance payment. Larger orders may require more time.
