Concept
MagMatrix Perseverance Model MGO fire-rated structurally subfloor panels are a crucial innovation in noncombustible construction, offering unique features designed to meet modern building requirements. As the only noncombustible new sulfate MGO-based-cementitious structural panel manufactured in CHINA, these panels bring multiple advantages to the construction industry, particularly in projects requiring enhanced fire, moisture, and structural performance.
Noncombustible and Fire-Rated:
ASTM E136 Compliance: These panels are fully noncombustible and meet the strict criteria of ASTM E136, making them suitable for use in all noncombustible construction types.
Available in 1-, 2-, and 3-hour fire-rated designs, it provides solutions for modular, panelized, and conventional buildings and enables compliance with various fire safety codes.
Inorganic and Resistant Properties:
The panels are made from inorganic materials, which provide built-in resistance to mold, moisture, and termites. This makes them highly durable in environments where other materials might degrade over time.
They maintain dimensional stability, essential for ensuring longevity and performance in subfloor assemblies.
The BMSC 517 new sulfate MGO Cementitious Composition is a unique and most advanced sulfate MGO formulation. This composition, combined with their inorganic nature and fire-resistant properties, makes them a top choice for non-combustible construction projects.
The panels from the MagMatrix brand of the 517 new sulfates MGO cementitious nature give them structural strength and fire-rated integrity, making them well-suited for use in subflooring assemblies and supporting a wide range of floor finishes.
Easy Installation:
The panels can be easily cut using standard framing tools, allowing for quick and efficient on-site customization. They can be installed using mechanical fasteners without adhesives, simplifying the installation process and potentially reducing labor costs.
Modular and Versatile:
The Perseverance model new MGO fire-rated structural subfloor panels are versatile enough for use in various types of construction, including modular, panelized, and conventional building methods. This adaptability makes them suitable for many different building designs and applications.
We offer a high-performance solution for noncombustible construction, where fire resistance, moisture control, and structural integrity are paramount.
Fire Resistant Assembly
Noncombustible MagMatrix BMSC MgO subfloor panels offer fast installation, structural stability, and 1- and 2-hour fire-rated and 3-hour fire-rated floor/ceiling assemblies.
Description in Subfloor
MagMatrix Perseverance model BMSC 517 New sulfate MGO Structural Subfloor Board 18/19mm (3/4") can carry a total load, alive and dead, of 320 psf (15.3 kPa) when cold-formed steel framing is spaced 24" (610mm) O.C.
It is mechanically fastened to cold-formed steel joints, timber frame trusses, or framing members. A non-combustible ceiling assembly is attached to the bottom of the floor joists to complete the construction. This floor system is designed to carry gravity and lateral loads. The surface of the boards shall be covered with tile or carpet. MagMatrix Economic® structural subfloor panels can also be installed on wood joints and hot-rolled steel framing modular construction systems.
It has a maximum linear variation with a change in the moisture content of less than 0.1% in accordance with ASTM C1186 testing (from 50% to 90% relative humidity). This means that the panels will not buckle or warp like wood sheathing. Do not gap MagMatrix Structural Panel Concrete Subfloor and roof panels.
Cutting the concrete subfloor and roof panel requires a carbide-tipped saw blade and a circular saw equipped with dust collection or adequate ventilation to control airborne dust. Wear safety glasses, gloves, and a NIOSH-approved dust mask during the cutting operation. Use a stand-up screw gun and self-drilling No. 8-gauge screws when fastening the panel.
Limitation
MagMatrix structural subfloor always requires a finished floor covering such as ceramic tile, vinyl, wood, carpet, or other approved materials. Without an underlayment, future removal of these floor coverings may damage the structural subfloor. The only floor coverings that do not require an underlayment are residential carpets and pads.
Framing System Inspection
The steel floor framing must be designed to meet the strength and deflection criteria specified in the contract documents. The panel end must be bearing on the supporting flange for at least 1"(25mm) wide. Attachment flange or bearing edge width shall be minimum 2" (50mm). Metal framing must be a minimum of 18 gauge and spaced not greater than 24" (610mm) o.c.
Framing System Inspection
Joist Bridging consists of joist sections cut to length and placed between outer supports, at mid-span with 8' o.c. max. and adjacent to openings. Follow the steel framing manufacturer's recommendations for the proper installation and bracing of the trusses or joists framing.
Installation
MagMatrix structural subfloor must be installed according to the Guide, using only the listed materials and components. For all types of construction, appropriate safety procedures must be followed to protect installers from personal injuries from lifting incorrectly, falling, and eye, hand, and lung irritation from dust.
Always orient panels perpendicular to the joists, when the joists change direction, so does the panel. Install panels in a running bond pattern so that end joints fall over the center of the framing members and are staggered.
Fasten each panel after it has been placed following the fastening schedule listed in the contract documents. Use adhesive at both tongue & groove and square edges. Use only non-combustible polyurethane-based adhesive. Ensure panels are tight with the adhesive applied prior to screw attaching the panels to the steel framing.
For all panels less than 24" (610mm) wide, all edges must be supported by blocking. Blocking must be cold-formed from steel complying with the relevant standard, with a minimum of 54 mils (0.0538 inches or 1.37mm) base metal thickness (No.16 gauge) and a minimum G60 galvanized coating.

Product Data
Sizes and Packaging: 18mm/19mm/20mm × 1200mm × 2440mm panels. Each panel weighs approximately 58kg and 63kg (35 sheets per pallet) and is intended to be handled by two people in the upright position.
Maintenance: MagMatrix Structural Subflooring does not require any regular maintenance except to remove standing water and repair damage from abuse. Any cracked or broken panels should be replaced with the same MagMatrix Structural Panel that is secured following the fastening schedule prescribed in the original installation documents. The replacement panels must be a minimum of 24" (610mm) wide and must span a minimum of two supports. If not, the replacement panel must be fully blocked on all sides.
