Light-burned magnesia is widely used as finishing building materials in the construction sector at present.

As the production of building materials using light-burned magnesia has advantages in various aspects, it has become a world trend in the building materials production sector.

First, such building materials are very good for the health of people as they absorb carbon dioxide and radioactive rays in the air. And the building materials made by reinforcing light-burned magnesia with glass fibre are effective in the prevention of fire as they have good fire resistance and superior in moisture resistance and solidity to the wooden ones.

Moreover, the raw materials for the production of light-burned magnesia are abundantly deposited in the country, which offers bright prospects for the production of building materials made by using them.

The Myongsu resources production company under the Foreign Trade Management Bureau of the Ministry of Physical Culture and Sports was highly appreciated at the national exhibition of sci-tech successes in the field of furniture and finishing building materials for having developed new finishing building materials based on locally available raw materials in succession this year after last year.

Recently, the company has newly developed light-burned magnesia lightweight decoration wallboard, an environment-friendly green building material which has good heat resistance, thermal insulation and bearing capacity with high bending strength and freeze resistance, absorbs carbon dioxide and generates anion.

The wallboard helps reduce the production cost to a fifth in furniture production as compared to that of wooden furniture.

The technical personnel of the company satisfactorily solved important problems arising in the development of light-burned magnesia lightweight decoration wallboard including the lightening of wallboard by making vegetable complex fillers with the mixture of various raw materials and the improvement of the poor water-resisting quality, one of the defects in the light-burned magnesia building board, by means of various additives.

And they made frames with various patterns for the decoration of wallboard, building the groundwork for industrializing its production.

The company improved the quality of products by giving beautiful patterns and openwork decorations to the light-burned magnesia lightweight decoration wallboard.

Its products include decoration wallboards on which roses, which seem as if they would give off sweet fragrance at once, and goldfish, which looks like swimming freely in the water, are embossed, different forms of elegant pillars, which look as if they were built with blocks of elaborately dressed marble, and decorative sculptures.

The company’s products are now widely used in the construction projects including the construction of houses in the Hwasong area.
