When it comes to magnesium oxide boards, there are two basic formulations: MgSo4 (magnesium sulfate) and MgCl (magnesium chloride). MGOTECH is magnesium sulfate (MgSo4) but we can also provide MgCl via special order.
Let’s see how they compare in terms of composition, characteristics, and applications.
There are two things to take note of when it comes to the composition of these two panels. First, the presence of magnesium sulfate vs. magnesium chloride and second, the level of dissolvable chloride content. As you can see in MgSo4, magnesium sulfate replaces the magnesium chloride in MgCl.
So, if you're not a chemist, you're probably wondering what that means. Simply put, the magnesium sulfate makes the MgSo4 panels incredibly water-resistant, by preventing moisture from absorbing back to the halogen in the board.
This contrasts with how magnesium oxide (MgCl) boards were produced in the past, which resulted in “weeping boards” and corrosion of metal fasteners.
The next evolution of magnesium oxides boards is magnesium sulfate boards. Due to these advances in manufacturing, when you purchase MGOTECH, you don’t have to worry about "weeping boards.
