The curing time for magnesium sulfate boards is longer than that for magnesium chloride boards due to the nature of their internal structures and the moisture content. In our factory, magnesium sulfate boards undergo an initial 24-hour curing period in a controlled environment. Following this, they require a minimum of 14 days of natural outdoor curing. This extended curing period is why the shipping time for magnesium sulfate boards is at least 14 days.
Once the magnesium sulfate boards are formed, they contain a significant amount of water molecules within their internal structure. These water molecules are linked to the material in a physical, rather than chemical, manner, which means that the evaporation of this moisture is a slow process. Adequate time is needed for the moisture to dissipate, ensuring that the boards have an ideal moisture content when they reach the customer.
Our tests have shown that the optimal moisture evaporation time for magnesium sulfate formula boards is 30 days of outdoor curing. However, given the demands of modern construction timelines, waiting for a full 30 days is often impractical. To address this, we use high-temperature curing rooms to accelerate the drying process and patiently wait for at least 14 days.
Therefore, when planning for magnesium oxide board procurement, it is essential for industry professionals to consider a production cycle of 15-20 days for magnesium sulfate boards. In contrast, magnesium chloride formula boards have a shorter production cycle and can be ready for shipment in as little as 7 days.
These details highlight the importance of understanding the curing times for different magnesium oxide board formulations, ensuring that your construction projects proceed smoothly and on schedule.
