GMS or magnesite slab is used for various types of construction and decorative work. Versatility is achieved by the special composition of the product. The standard sheet consists of:
- Wood shavings - 15%.
- Expanded perlite - up to 5%.
- Magnesium chloride - 30-40%.
- Magnesium oxide - 35-45%.
- Fiberglass mesh - 1%. Secondary resources are used for production: glass and cullet.
Additionally, in the manufacture of sheet magnesite, binding elements are used.
The percentage of components in the LSU composition determines its main technical characteristics - strength, flexibility, moisture resistance and density.
