High purity magnesium enhances performance per unit of weight in building and construction products

• Hydrated magnesium carbonate and magnesium oxide can be utilised to manufacture innovative building boards with advanced properties, including
  • Flame resisting wall boards and cladding
  • Low density boards, significantly lighter in weight offering engineering advantages
  • Boards with favourable acoustic properties
  • Insulating building boards and tiles.
• Hard burned magnesia flame proofing and functional filler including foam admixtures in insulation.
• Magnesium oxide in building sealants, paints, coatings and adhesives, acts as a curing agent and substantially increases albedo, offering a highly reflective surface and commensurate building energy savings in hot environments.
• Caustic calcined magnesia and magnesium chloride as major ingredients in Sorel Cements for industrial flooring.
• Hard burned magnesia in fast setting properties in road patching cements.
