MAGNESIUM OXIDE BOARDS USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION
OF WUHAN HOSPITALS
MagnaBoard is a Magnesium Oxide Board supplied from China. In February
one of the emergency hospitals erected to accommodate victims of the Covid-19
pandemic in Wuhan China was built in an incredible 10 days making extensive use
of Magnesium Oxide Boards in their modular container design.
MD of MagnaBoard, Dave Lindup says, "MagnaBoard is ideal for South African
medical facilities. It is a green eco-friendly Magnesium Oxide Board which is technically
advanced and superior in every category compared to traditional wood, gypsum and
cement-based products. MagnaBoard is fire retardant and has a zero flame spread
and smoke developed rating. In addition, the boards are impermeable to mould and
can be used for internal and external applications."
Applications
MagnaBoard can be applied to wooden structures and/or metal framing or directly on to steel structures and masonry work with mechanical
fasteners (screws, bolts, rivets, brads, staples, nails). MagnaBoard can also be used to laminate over existing surfaces using adhesives
and cements. (Use with a variety of joint fillers for different levels of resistance as required.)
As a component for light steel framing, MagnaBoard allows structures to be built taller and larger at a rapid pace yet remain lighter
than other board products. There is a wide range of thickness options, for interior and exterior applications. It can be left natural with clear
finishes; alternatively due to its inherent superior bonding property it may be painted
or plastered.
For incredibly fast dry wall boarding, it can be installed and painted within hours using
fast setting fillers trimmed with a sharp blade (reducing sandpaper and sanding). Fillers
can be cut flush without a tape over the panel joints and without needing a corner-bead,
metal trims, etc., whilst giving you perfectly true square corners and edges naturally.
Panels can be spliced between studs without the need to land joints over studs.
i.e. using MagnaBoard behind the seam as a back-blocking splicer stapled or screwed
together results in seamless flush joints on the front.
