MagTech Information

MagTech products use a patent pending technology of adhering a thin layer of magnesium oxide to the face of the wood sheathing (plywood or OSB) through a high-pressure lamination process. The layer of magnesium oxide, both environmentally friendly and one of the most commonly occurring minerals on earth, produces superior fire retardant performance (Class A flame spread = 0). It can be used in various sheathing applications. In addition, the lamination of the magnesium oxide onto the face of the wood sheathing omits the need for chemically im- pregnating or treating the wood sheathing with a spray-on chemical coating.
