Product Specifications
Introduction
Building integrity in seismic zones demands materials that are strong, flexible, and reliable. Jiangsu Jinpeng Fireproof Board Co., Ltd., with a 200 million yuan investment, has engineered a specialized MGO sheathing verified for superior shear performance. Our product contributes essential structural strength while reducing building mass, a crucial factor for minimizing inertial forces during an earthquake.

Technical Parameters
Application Fields
- Structural Shear Walls: Providing lateral bracing in buildings in Seismic Zones D, E, F.
- Diaphragms (Roofs/Floors): Connecting vertical elements and distributing lateral loads.
- Light-Gauge Steel Frame Construction: Providing the primary shear bracing component.
- Buildings with Low Weight Constraints: Where minimizing overall building mass is critical for seismic design.
- Critical Facilities: Hospitals, emergency centers requiring enhanced resilience.
Application Areas
Advantages & Core Features
- High Shear Strength: Provides the necessary lateral resistance to withstand seismic forces.
- Reduced Seismic Load: Lighter than cement board, minimizing inertial mass and overall seismic force.
- Non-Combustible Resilience: MGO maintains fire protection even if the wall frame shifts during an event.
- Moisture Resilience: Structural performance is maintained even if the board is exposed to rain/humidity during or after a seismic event.
- Fastener Security: Excellent pull-out and shear retention is vital for maintaining connection to the frame.
