Magnesiacore Inc.

Magnesiacore (TM) Technology uses proprietary processes with magnesium oxide compounds to deliver a multi-purpose, versatile, non-combustible, and unique board material. This integral, hard, inert and paperless construction panel has superior characteristics over panels made from gypsum, cement, clay or wood and paper particles.  For an easier, better and faster job, use Magnesiacore for all your indoor and outdoor construction.

USE 9mm (~3/8") Magnesiacore instead of  5/8" (~16mm) gypsum drywall
USE 9mm (~3/8") Magnesiacore instead of  1/2" (~12mm) cement board
USE 12mm (~1/2") Magnesiacore instead of  5/8" (~16mm) particleboard

...to receive an environmentally friendly, salt, fire, moisture, heat, mould resistant construction board that insects and rodents can't feed on, as well as,
getting a better impact resistant and higher sound attenuating material

In addition to our inert paperless drywall plasterboard and building systems  Magnesiacore Inc. can supply specifically formulated highly compatible fillers, acoustical compounds, waterproofing breathable coatings, stucco rendering materials and tools; for wall, deck and roof in building applications that are state of the art and best class methods in construction environments from the tropical to the tundra.

Contact us about supplying your projects.... Our technical service can provide complete assistance for detailed installation methods and design solutions including novel and unique applications that are not possible with any other board material. Our products, together with our high level of expertise in general building applications and manufacturing, makes Magnesiacore Inc. the global leader in developing unique innovative applications based on our core material.

Benefits & Advantages:

• A new and superior non-combustible construction board material with numerous application in commercial projects of all kinds.

• Revolutionary solid improvement, when used in lieu of gypsum drywall and/or cement board, that is usable for indoor and outdoor purposes. Provides a hard, long lasting surface that look and feel like hard cement plastering but is fireproof and resistant to damage from water, humidity, freezing, organisms, chlorine, salt and more. Excellent material for sound proofing applications. The ideal wallboard for pool buildings, garages, kitchen and wet areas or any of the more demanding locations in buildings.

• Magnesia core board in sheets can be applied to wood structures (below) and/or metal framing (above) or directly on to steel structure and masonry work with mechanical fasteners (screws, bolts, rivets, brads, staples, nails) and can also be used to laminate over existing surfaces using adhesives and cements. Used with a variety of joint fillers for different levels of resistance as desired or demanded by your specific application.

• As a component for Light Steel Framing, magnesiacore allows structures to be taller, bigger and lighter, much faster than other board products. With more options in thickness, for interior and exterior applications. Can be left natural with clear finishes or ready to receive finishings better than other boards by inherent superior bonding property.

• A faster and better alternative to lathing and plastering; magnesiacore can be installed with taped joints like a drywall, gyprock or plasterboard; or spliced using specific fillers without taping; or with "T&G" tongue and grooved joints without any filling or taping... to save time and money for plaster tough walls at a fraction of the cost. A great substrate to receive exterior and interior decorative coatings directly to its surface.

• Magnesiacore can be screwed in place with wood screws and/or quickly and strongly fastened with pneumatic guns using brads, staples or nails with less filling. Most laminating adhesives work better on magnesiacore.

• Unique attractive economical seamless commercial grade acoustical flooring. Installed floating over regular adhesives or better with our Acoustical Goo for isolated mass dampening of ambient sound levels. Perfect for making flush seamless floor joints that prevents dirt build-up and permits easy maintenance for machine polishing and waxing.

• For incredibly fast dry wall boarding that 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 corner-bead, metal trims etc. while giving you perfectly true square corners and edges naturally. Panels can be spliced between studs without need to land joints over studs. i.e., using strips of magnesiacore behind the seam as a back-blocking splicer stapled or screwed together results in seamless flush joints on the front.

• A concrete-hard dry wall material ideal for high impact areas, hot wet and humid areas; to receive paint directly or as a wall tile or floor tile backerboard. A backerboard that provides a 3000 PSI (20MpA) strong substrate for floor and wall tile, screwed or nailed in place without pre-drilling or laminated in layers to obtain any thickness. When nailed in place with a light brad nail gun a whole room can be made ready to tile in minutes. Every thickness from 6mm to 20mm can be nailed in place to wood studs, plywood subfloors, particleboards, OSB... even magnesiacore to magnesiacore with pneumatically applied brads.

Lighter than cement board; Smoother than drywall; More flexible than cement board; More rigid than drywall; AND ... much more inert than either cement board, drywall or wood based board materials...
