A manufactured construction board is formed from a composition that may
include magnesium oxide, magnesium chloride, a binding agent (e.g.,
perlite), wood shavings, recycled board scraps, and water. The
construction board further includes fiberglass and polyester paper sheets
on opposite sides of the construction board. A method of fabricating the
construction board is also disclosed to include mixing magnesium chloride
with water to form a solution, mixing the solution with magnesium oxide,
perlite and a binding agent to form a paste, and pouring the paste onto a
mold to form a construction board. The paste is poured onto a mold which
is then passed through a series of rollers to spread out the paste evenly
across the mold and to form the paste into the desired thickness. The
resulting construction board is fire and water resistant and much more
durable than conventional sheetrock.
