Wedge MgOShield™ | Fire-Rated Mineral Wool MgO Boards
Uncompromising Safety, Intelligent Protection
When fire safety is non-negotiable, the Wedge MgOShield™ Fire-Rated Smart Insulation Panel provides the ultimate line of defense. This advanced panel system is engineered for the most demanding environments, combining the proven fire resistance of high-density Mineral Wool with the structural integrity of Magnesium Oxide (MgO) boards. Integrated with a state-of-the-art IoT monitoring system, MgOShield™ doesn't just resist fire—it actively watches for risks, offering a new level of proactive protection and operational peace of mind.
Core Features & Advantages
Maximum Fire Resistance
At the heart of the MgOShield™ panel is a core of high-density, non-combustible Mineral Wool. This is encased in fire-rated Magnesium Oxide (MgO) boards, creating a formidable barrier against fire and heat. The system achieves a certified A-120 fire rating, ensuring it meets the stringent safety standards required for high-risk industrial, commercial, and marine applications.
Proactive IoT-Based Monitoring
MgOShield™ transcends traditional passive fire protection. Each panel is embedded with IoT-based sensors that continuously monitor for critical changes:
Fire Risk Detection: Get immediate, automated alerts at the first sign of abnormal temperature spikes, allowing for rapid response before a fire can escalate.
Thermal Performance Monitoring: Ensure your insulation is performing to specification, preventing energy loss and identifying potential thermal bridging or degradation over time.
Integrated Thermal Performance & Rapid Installation
While its primary function is fire safety, MgOShield™ also provides excellent thermal insulation, contributing to a more stable indoor environment and reduced energy costs. The modular, quick-install system is designed for efficiency, significantly cutting down on construction schedules and labor, making it an economical choice for both new projects and safety upgrades.
Key Applications
The robust, fire-focused design of MgOShield™ makes it the essential choice for environments where the risk of fire is a primary concern.
Industrial Plants and Chemical Facilities: Protect critical infrastructure, hazardous materials, and personnel in high-temperature or volatile environments.
Commercial Buildings Requiring High Fire Safety: Ideal for data centers, archives, and multi-story buildings where containment and safety are paramount.
Offshore and Marine Applications: Meets the rigorous A-60 standard required for ships, offshore platforms, and other marine structures, providing certified protection against fire at sea.
Tangible Benefits
Holistic Protection: Get robust fire resistance and excellent thermal insulation in a single, efficient panel.
Reduced Risk & Premiums: Proactive monitoring can lead to lower insurance premiums by demonstrating a higher standard of care and risk mitigation.
Operational Continuity: Prevent catastrophic fire-related losses and ensure the long-term operational integrity of your facility.
