Is MagnuM Board® considered a health based building product?

Yes it is. MAGNUM BOARD® is a mineral product, completely free of toxins such as asbestos, formaldehyde or silica, is manufactured completely at ambient temperature, and is considered a green product.

Is MagnuM Board® considered a negative C02 product? Yes indeed the MAGNUM BOARD® product line is CO2 negative meaning the product and / or its process absorbs CO2 and turns it into magnesium carbonate and that remains in the board until the board is retired from service, in which case, the magnesium carbonate can be recycled to make MgO and ultimately recycled into more MAGNUM BOARD®.

Has MagnuM Board® been tested?

Yes indeed. Magnum Board® has been subjected to some of the toughest testing being conducted on building materials today including the freeze / thaw and 2,000 hour weathering test which simulates 20 years of wear and tear in all climatic conditions including high heat and snow. Magnum Board® products are fully appraised in NZ and Underwriters Laboratory (UL) approved. This is indeed a one of a kind material. Our factory is ISO certified and is audited on a quarterly basis by Underwriters Laboratories (UL).

Is MagnuM Board® dimensionally stable in freeze, thaw, heat and humidity cycles?

Yes it is. Unlike Portland type materials the coefficient of expansion for MAGNUM BOARD® is extremely low; therefore, when selecting and installing products such as our exterior lap siding, there is no need to leave gaps between butt joints to accommodate for such expansion and contraction. This provides a much more aesthetically pleasing finish for many years to come.

What are the adhesion values of MagnuM Board®?

Excellent allowing you to finish MAGNUM BOARD® with any product you desire such as paint, Portland type stucco, synthetic stucco, wall paper, stone, tile, brick and much more. The excellent adhesion properties of MAGNUM BOARD® also make it a perfect product for Structural Insulated Panels (SIPS), Exterior Insulated Finish Systems (EIFS) and interior wall systems using fabrics and veneers.

Is the cost of MagnuM Board® competitive with other products?

When considering overall installation and life cycle costs, absolutely. By using MAGNUM BOARD® you don’t have to worry about damage caused by low or high impacts, termites, carpenter ants or any other pests; decay caused by moisture and UV; warping, swelling and wood rot caused by water; mould and mildew; and, toxins that are found in many wood fibre panels, plastics, gypsum and cement based products.

How can I hang pictures and other items on MagnuM Board®

It’s simple and easy to hang just about anything from MAGNUM BOARD®. What works with gypsum based panel’s works with Magnum Board.

How do I store MagnuM Board®?

Storage and handling of MAGNUM BOARD® is simple. Refer to the technical manual for details.

Is MagnuM Board® easy to install?

Indeed it is. MAGNUM BOARD® installs with screws or pneumatic nailers depending on the application you are using it for. Always follow the MAGNUM® Building Products installation recommendations.

Finishing interior walls and ceilings is also easy using standard joint compound and fibre or paper tape. Since MAGNUM BOARD® is smooth on one side, you can achieve a level 5 beautiful and durable finish with much less work (man-hours) than typical gypsum based panels.

Is MagnuM Board® safe for installers?

Yes. In fact installing Magnum Board® is as safe if not safer than installing any other material on the market today. Magnum Board® is a mineral based product free of carcinogens and silica. Magnum Board® is extremely safe for installers and consumers alike.

PROCEDURE TO PAINT INTERNAL WALLS USINGFOREVERBREATHE INTERIOR PAINT

Important Notice:

Before applying each coat of Foreverbreathe paint, always thoroughly mix the paintusing a mechanical paint mixing method. DO NOT rely on a stick stirring method.

Once thoroughly mixed, strain the paint through a professional paint strainer and ensure all of the “solids” are worked through the strainer into the paint tray or cutting in bucket.

Always use products to manufacturer’s specifications.

First Coat

1/ Apply 1 coat of Foreverbreathe white interior paint to the entire surface. Use a 9mm Nap Micro Fibre Roller. Allow to dry.

2/ “Light Up” the wall with a halogen light to identify any plastering marks or defects.

3/ Apply Sheet Rock Total to plastering marks or defects. Allow to dry.

4/ Sand Back in preparation for painting.

5/ Re-seal (with Foreverbreathe white interior paint) the areas where Sheet Rock Total was

applied and sanded.

Always use products to manufacturer’s specifications

Apply Second Coat of Foreverbreathe Interior Paint(use tinted colour if final finish is to be tinted

1/ Lightly sand first coat prior to applying second coat

2/ Cut in to corners / ceiling junctions using a high quality smooth brush. For best results use an angled cut-in brush. DO NOT cut in too far ahead of the roller application. It is important to keep a “wet edge”.

3/ Apply second coat of Foreverbreathe interior paint to the entire surface, Use a 9mm Nap Micro Fibre roller.

Allow to dry.

NOTE: If you stop for a break or any length of time, it is important to re-stir or remix the paint before proceeding. Pigment and paint solids can fall to the bottom of the tray or bucket leaving an uneven colour.

For non-Magnum Board surfaces, apply a third coat of Foreverbreathe Interior Paint(use tinted colour if final finish is to be tinted). Magnum Board only requires two coats.

1/ lightly sand second coat prior to painting third coat

2/ Cut in using a high quality smooth brush. For best results use an angled cut in brush. DO NOT cut in too far ahead of the Roller application. It is important to keep a “wet edge”.

3/ Apply third coat of Foreverbreathe interior paint to the entire surface using a 9mm Nap Micro Fibre roller.

Allow to dry.

NOTE: If you stop for a break or any length of time, it is important to re-stir or remix the paint before proceeding. Pigment and paint solids can fall to the bottom of the tray or bucket leaving an uneven colour / texture

CLEANING WALLSTo clean walls coated with Foreverbreathe Interior Wall paint, simply use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive cloth. Lightly soak the area first by dabbing with the wet cloth.

Durability Appraisal of Magnum Board Wall Lining

1. Introduction

Les Boulton & Associates Ltd (LBA) was requested by NZ Sustainable Forest Products (NZSFP) to carry out an appraisal of the material employed in Magnum Board for wall linings in buildings. Magnum Board wall lining is manufactured at the Magnum Building Products (MBP) facility in China to USA specifications. The purpose of the durability appraisal was to assess whether the material employed in manufacture of Magnum Board complies with the durability requirements of the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) Clause B2, Durability.

Magnum Board is composed of fibre-reinforced magnesium oxide base designed to be installed as an interior wall lining of buildings. Magnum Board wall lining is appropriate for use in wet areas of a building, such as behind shower linings and as a tile-backer board. Figure 1 shows the two sides of samples of the Magnum Board wall lining.

The following test reports, documentation and the MSDS data sheet were made available by NZSFP in order that the durability appraisal could be carried out on the materials of construction used for Magnum Board.

o RADCO Test Report No.RAD-4451, California, USA; “Humidified Testing of

magnesium oxide sheets per AC386 (acceptance criteria for fibre-reinforced magnesium oxide based sheets)”; January 26, 2009.

o RADCO Test Report No.RAD-4224, California, USA; “Physical properties testing of magnesium oxide sheets per AC386 (acceptance criteria for fibre-reinforced magnesium oxide based sheets)”; May 8, 2008.

o Certified Test Summary & Product Specifications AC386 Criteria – ASTM and UL Procedures; Magnum Building Products, Long Beach, California, USA; August, 2011.

o Technical Bulletin No.113011-1148, “Fastener design and material recommendation”; Magnum Building Products, Florida, USA, January 19, 2012.

o Technical Bulletin No.090509-1405, “Installation Guidelines for Magnum Wall and Ceiling Board”, Magnum Building Products, Florida, USA, May 2012.

o MSDS Data Sheet No.MBGEP-032107-5; Magnum Board, Magnum Building Products, Florida, USA, January 1, 2009.



2. Assessment of the Durability of Magnum Board

Magnesium oxide board has been given the Code Mark Approval in Australia and Magnum Board is supported by the UL Mark in North America. Magnum Board has been extensively tested to ASTM Standards in the USA for performance criteria and correct installation procedures.

Magnum Board is composed of fibre-reinforced magnesium oxide-based homogeneous sheet. Magnum Board has the following composition:

o Magnesium oxide (MgO) o Magnesium chloride (MgCl2) o Cellulose o Perlite o Proprietary additive o Fibreglass scrim

The materials employed in Magnum Board are chemically inert except for a low level of magnesium chloride which may be corrosive to some metal fasteners if the lining board is installed in a wet or humid environment. However, this potential problem has been addressed by MBP who strongly recommend that installers of Magnum Board use stainless steel (SS) fasteners to attach Magnum Board wall lining sheets to treated timber or light gauge steel joists. In addition, during installation the stainless steel fastening screws are required to be countersunk and coated with three coats of a jointing compound to ensure that the SS fastener heads are sealed inside the board below the final lining surface.

Extensive physical testing of Magnum Board to recognised ASTM Standards (USA) has shown that the board material is resistant to insects (e.g. termites) and it is not susceptible to water damage. The board material does not support microbial growth such as mold or mildew. The magnesium oxide based board is non-flammable and it is also non-combustible. In addition, the dust generated when cutting Magnum Board during installation of the sheets as a wall lining is non-toxic.

3. Durability Appraisal of Magnum Board

Assessment of the materials comprising Magnum Board has shown that the materials employed in the manufacture of the wall lining in conjunction with good installation practices are adequate to avoid any degradation issues that may arise during service in wet areas of a building. Thus, the materials employed for manufacture of Magnum Board are suitable to withstand exposure under New Zealand conditions in the wet areas of a building. The likelihood of any structural damage occurring on Magnum Board wall linings due to microbial degradation of the material, or to corrosion of metal fasteners used for the board in wet service areas is very low.

A review of the product data sheets and the ASTM testing results for the materials of construction of Magnum Board was carried out. Assessment of the environmental testing for material performance during service showed that the materials used for manufacture of the wall



lining board will meet the durability requirements of the NZ Building Code, Clause B2, Durability. The NZ Building Code Clause B2 Durability requirements for interior wall linings, including use as wall linings behind tiled showers, is as follows:

o Interior wall linings: at least 15 years or the same durability as the tile covering the wall

lining.

The Magnum Board interior wall lining should provide a service life of not less than 15 years when installed as a wall lining in all wet areas of buildings.

Figure 1: Wall 267442

Wall Condition after test

• All the walls after the full P21 still exhibited significant load carrying capacity as evidenced by the relatively constant load as the deflection cycles continued out past 40mm. This maintenance of load capacity is evidence in itself of limited damage to the walls.

• The screws remained intact. • No fractures were seen in the Magnum board. • No damage was seen in the timber framing. • The only apparent damage was a widening of the screw hole through the Magnum board

predominantly around those screws on the bottom plate and on the bottom section on the end studs.

1. INTRODUCTION

This report gives the BRANZ assessment of the Group Number Classification in accordance with the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) C/VM2 (ISO 9705) in relation to the fire hazard properties of wall and ceiling lining materials and assemblies for Magnum Board.

2. BACKGROUND

This assessment is based on two sets Cone Calorimeter tests conducted to ULC- S135-04 on 100 x 100 mm samples at a heat flux of 50 kW/m2 follows:

Exova test report Number 13-0020529(A) on 3 mm thick Magnum Board where the mean and peak heat release rate (HRR) were 0.7 and 5.8 kW/m2 respectively and Average Extinction Area (SEA) (m2/kg) of 0.0.

Interteck test report number 101433709MID-001Rev1 on 15 mm thick Magnum Board where the mean and peak HRR were 4.15 and 10.14 kW/m2 respectively and Average Extinction Area (SEA) (m2/kg) of -1.41.

BRANZ has received written permission from Magnum Building Products to reference these cone calorimeter test reports in the preparation of this assessment of Group numbers in accordance with NZBC C/VM2.

3. TEST STANDARD

The above tests have been conducted in accordance with ULC-S135-04, which is essentially a standard for the cone calorimeter test with no significant differences from the requirements of ISO 5560 in that the same sample size of 100 x 100 mm and the heat flux of 50 kW/m2 are identical and the output parameters from the oxygen consumption calculations for HRR, and SEA for smoke are comparable. So on this basis the test outputs can be used as a comparison and assessment of what the result would be it the tests had been conducted to ISO 5660.

4. DISCUSSION

The determination for Group Numbers in accordance with the New Zealand Building Code (NZBC) C/VM2 (ISO 9705) from Cone Calorimeter test data collected in accordance with ISO 5660 is detailed in Appendix A as attached on pages 7 and 8.

4.1 HRR to Group Number

The relevant part is of Appendix A is A1.3 and 5 steps are required to determine a Group Number.




Although the process normally requires HRR data in the form of ordered pairs in a spreadsheet from which the calculations involving the ignitability, two integrals, three integral limits and satisfying one inequality. This calculation for Magnum Board was not possible because the required test data was not available in electronic form.

However, from the HRR graphs in the Exova and Interdeck reports in is clear that the peak HRRs recorded are 5.8 and 10.14 kW/m2 respectively.

Applying the five steps in the calculation process produces the following result:

Step 1: Determine the time to ignition (tig) which is the time (in seconds) in seconds when the HRR reaches or first exceeds a value of 50kW/m2. For the data provided a HRR of 50 kW/m2 is not reached.

Steps 2, 3, and 4: The calculations cannot be performed. So advancing to step 5.

Step 5 (v): If the ignition criterion in Step 1 is not reached, therefore Magnum Board is deemed a Group 1 material.

4.2 The average specific extinction area (SEA)

In accordance with NZBC Verification Method C/VM2 Appendix A, samples achieving either a Group Number classification 1 or 2, and with an average specific extinction area less than 250 m²/kg are identified with “S” post-script to the Group number determined above.

The measured average SEA in the Exova and Interdeck reports are 0.0 and - 1.41 m2/kg respectively, so the “S” post-script may be included with the Group Number.

5. CONCLUSION

On the basis of the two cone calorimeter reports:

Exova test report Number 13-0020529(A) and Interteck test report number 101433709MID-001Rev1.

Submitted in support of an assessment of Magnum Board for the purposes of compliance with the NZBC Verification Method C/VM2 Appendix A.

It is considered that the assessed Group Number Classification in Table 1 is considered applicable to the Magnum Board product as described in the above test reports.

Assessment Report

Fire Resistance of a Steel or Timber Framed Magnum Board Lined Wall

Prepared for New Zealand Sustainable Forest Products

By Jason King, Fire Engineer

18 July 2014

MAGNUM™ BOARD 60 MINUTE FIRE RATING


18 July 2014 Page 1 of 5 pages

1 Scope

This report examines the fire resistance to AS 1530.4-2005 of a steel or timber framed wall lined on each side with nominal 12 mm Magnum magnesium oxide board, and with mineral fibre insulation in the wall cavity. The required fire resistance rating (FRR) is -/60/60.

2 Background

In Southwest Research Institute (SWRI) fire endurance test No. 01.15210.01.101c a 9 foot high x 12 foot wide non-loadbearing steel framed wall was tested in accordance with ASTM E119-08a and achieved a fire resistance for integrity and insulation of 60 minutes with no failure.

The framing comprised nominal 3 ⅝ inch 20 gauge steel studs and tracks. Studs were at 24 inch centres between top and bottom tracks. A horizontal stud section was fixed 1 foot from the bottom of the wall.

The wall cavity was filled with nominal 2 pcf (32 kg/m3) IIG MinWool Sound Attenuation Fire Batts.

The wall was lined on each face with nominal 12 mm thick Magnum board using 1 ⅝ inch screws at 8 inch centres at the perimeter of each sheet, and at 18 inch centres on the intermediate studs. All sheet joints were formed on framing members, with vertical joints offset between faces of the wall. A horizontal joint was formed on the horizontal framing member on each face of the wall with no offset between faces. The joints were stopped with jointing compound and fibreglass tape. Screw heads were stopped with jointing compound.

The test was conducted on behalf of Magnum Building Products, who have given permission for the report to be used in support of this assessment.

3 Proposed Construction

3.1 Steel Framed Walls

It is proposed to construct non-loadbearing steel framed walls lined with Magnum Board and insulated with mineral fibre insulation as follows.

Framing comprises 92 mm minimum depth x 34 mm minimum width studs and tracks of minimum nominal 1 mm base metal thickness galvanised steel. Studs are to be placed at 600 mm maximum centres between top and bottom tracks, fixed to the tracks with at least 10 gauge steel self-drilling screws. Horizontal members of the same section as the studs are to be located to correspond to horizontal joints in the linings. The horizontal members are to be fixed to the studs at each intersection using at least 10 gauge steel self-drilling screws.

The cavity is to be insulated with mineral fibre insulation of at least 40 kg/m3 density and at least 89 mm thick, having a fibre melting point at least 1000 °C. Rockwool Rocktech S would be a suitable insulating material.



The wall is to be lined on each side with one layer of nominal 12 mm thick x 1200 mm wide Magnum Board, with the sheets placed vertically. The linings are to be fixed with 40 mm minimum length steel screws at 200 mm maximum centres at the perimeter of each board, and at 450 mm maximum centres on each intermediate stud.

Vertical sheet joints are to be offset on opposite sides of the wall by at least 600 mm. Horizontal joints may be formed on the same steel member. All sheet joints are to be stopped with fibreglass tape and jointing compound. All screw heads are to be stopped with jointing compound.

3.2 Timber Framed Walls

It is proposed to construct non-loadbearing timber framed walls lined with Magnum Board and insulated with mineral fibre insulation as follows.

Framing comprises 94 mm minimum depth x 46 mm minimum width studs and top and bottom plates. Studs are to be placed at 600 mm maximum centres between top and bottom plates. Noggings of the same section as the studs are to be located to correspond to horizontal joints in the linings.

The cavity is to be insulated with mineral fibre insulation of at least 40 kg/m3 density and at least 89 mm thick, having a fibre melting point at least 1000 °C. Rockwool Rocktech S would be a suitable insulating material.

The wall is to be lined on each side with one layer of nominal 12 mm thick x 1200 mm wide Magnum Board, with the sheets placed vertically. The linings are to be fixed with 40 mm minimum length steel screws at 200 mm maximum centres at the perimeter of each board, and at 450 mm maximum centres on each intermediate stud.

Vertical sheet joints are to be offset on opposite sides of the wall by at least 600 mm. Horizontal joints may be formed on the same nogging. All sheet joints are to be stopped with fibreglass tape and jointing compound. All screw heads are to be stopped with jointing compound.

4 Discussion

4.1 Test Standard

The referenced fire endurance test was conducted in accordance with ASTM E119-08a. This standard differs from AS 1530.4-2005 in a number of respects. The features that differ significantly with respect to the referenced test specimen are identified as follows:

The time temperature curves differ slightly for the two standards during a 1 hour duration test, however each is within the permitted temperature variation tolerances of the other. The minor variation in temperature is not considered significant.

The method of furnace temperature measurement is significantly different, with ASTM E119 requiring fully enclosed Type K thermocouples, where AS 1530.4 requires the thermocouple measuring junction to be fully exposed to the furnace gases. This difference means that there will be a lag in the temperature measured with the enclosed thermocouple compared to the exposed thermocouple, leading to hotter temperatures in the furnace with enclosed thermocouples.



Therefore the exposure temperature of the ASTM E119 test is more severe than AS 1530.4. For the purpose of this assessment the exposure temperature is conservatively taken as being equivalent for the two standards.

The furnace pressure for ASTM E119 is not specified. For the test the pressure was set approximately equal to the laboratory pressure at the top of the specimen. This means there is a negative pressure in the furnace relative to the laboratory over the full height of the specimen. For AS 1530.4 the pressure is set equal to the laboratory pressure at 500 mm above the floor of the furnace, giving a positive relative pressure over the upper section of the specimen.

The higher pressure of AS 1530.4 is more likely to force hot gases through any gaps or openings that may form in the specimen. For this test there were no gaps or openings formed, and therefore the pressure difference is not considered likely to alter the result.

Specimen temperature is measured generally similarly for the two standards, except that for ASTM E119 the thermocouple junctions are covered by larger insulating pads than for AS 1530.4. This will tend to lead to higher temperatures being measured to ASTM E119, and it is therefore conservative to assume that the same temperatures would be recorded to AS 1530.4.

The failure criteria for integrity are similar for the two standards. For insulation ASTM E119 considers failure to occur when the average temperature of the unexposed face rises by more than 139 °C, or the maximum temperature rises by more than 180 °C. For AS 1530.4 the average and maximum limits are 140 and 180 °C respectively.

ASTM E119 requires a partition specimen to be restrained on all edges where AS 1530.4 requires the partition to be fixed at one edge and unrestrained at the other. This is intended to model a wall of unlimited length. As tested the wall was 12 ft (3.66 m) wide which exceeds the minimum 3 m required width. No adverse effects were noted as a result of the increased width. On this basis it is considered that provision of an unrestrained edge as required for AS 1530.4 compliance would not have prejudiced the result of the test at 60 minutes.

ASTM E119 requires a hose stream test to be applied. The hose stream test is not required for AS 1530.4 therefore the result of the hose stream test is not considered for this assessment.

On the basis of the above discussion it is considered that the partition tested in the referenced fire endurance test would have achieved at least equivalent performance if tested in accordance with AS 1530.4-2005.

4.2 Dimensions

The dimensions of the specimen as tested were given in imperial units. Comparisons of relevant dimensions are as follows. In all cases the tested and proposed dimensions are considered sufficiently similar that the test result would not be significantly affected.

Wall overall dimensions were 9 ft x 12 ft = 2.743 m x 3.657 m. The minimum required dimensions for AS 1530.4 are 3.0 m.

The maximum board dimensions are not stated in the test report, but are deduced to be 8 ft x 4 ft (2438 x 1219 mm). The length of the boards is not considered significant to their



performance. The proposed width of 1200 mm is slightly less than the tested board width which is not expected to be detrimental to the performance of the boards.

Steel stud and tracks as tested were of nominal 3 ⅝ inch = 92.1 mm depth. The width of the tested studs and tracks is not recorded in the test report. The difference from the proposed 92 mm minimum dimension is considered negligible. The proposed 34 mm minimum width is sufficient to allow the linings to be screwed to the stud with at least a 12 mm edge clearance, and is therefore considered acceptable.

The 20 gauge steel as tested is approximately 0.95 mm thick. The proposed 1 mm minimum thickness is considered to be equivalent or better than the tested thickness.

Stud are at 24 inch centres = 609.6 mm. The proposed 600 mm spacing is smaller, and therefore not likely to be detrimental to the performance.

Screw spacings are 8 or 18 inches = 203.2 mm or 457.2 mm. The proposed screw spacings are smaller than as tested, therefore unlikely to be detrimental to performance.

The tested screw length was 1 ⅝ inches = 41.275 mm. For fixing linings to steel once the screw thread has engaged in the steel any additional screw length provides no advantage. Therefore the proposed 40 mm screws are considered equivalent to the 1 ⅝ inch screws tested.

4.3 Timber Framing

Timber framing is expected to deform less than steel framing as tested, and therefore the lining boards will be subjected to less stress and are expected to remain in place similarly to those tested.

The mineral fibre insulation is expected to protect the sides of the framing from significant fire attack and the Magnum board will provide substantial protection to the fire side face of the timber. It is expected that the proposed 40 mm screws will retain the board in place for at least 60 minutes.

4.4 Insulation

The wall as tested was insulated with IIG MinWool Sound Attenuation Fire Batts, with a density of 40 kg/m3 and stated melting point of at least 1093 °C.

It is proposed to replace the IIG MinWool Sound Attenuation Fire Batts with Rockwool Rocktech S mineral fibre slabs, with a density of at least 60 k g/m3 and melting point approximately 1000 °C, or an equivalent mineral fibre insulation material. It is expected that the proposed mineral fibre, being of higher density and similar composition and thickness, with a melting point higher than the furnace temperature, will provide at least equivalent contribution to the fire resistance of the wall.

5 Opinion

It is our opinion that a steel or timber framed wall lined with nominal 12 mm Magnum board, insulated with Rockwool Rocktech S or equivalent, constructed as described in this report, would achieve a fire resistance of at least 60 minutes for Integrity and Insulation if tested in accordance with AS 1530.4-2005.

Other Precautions: Even though Magnum Board® has been tested and deemed non toxic, Magnum Building Products recommends that exposure to dust be kept as low as

reasonably possible. Respirable levels should not exceed those specified by OSHA and MSHA and identified in this MISDS. Exposure to respirable (fine) dust depends on a variety of factors, including activity rate (i.e. cutting rate), method of handling (i.e. electric shears), environmental conditions (i.e. weather conditions, workstation orientation) and control measures used. Wherever possible, practices likely to generate dust should be carried out in well ventilated areas (i.e. outside). The work practices and engineering controls set out in Section 8 should be followed as precautions to reduce dust exposures.

SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Engineering Controls

Cutting Outdoors: 1. Magnum Building Products recommends positioning cutting station so

that wind will blow dust away from user or others in working area and allow for ample dust dissipation.

2. Use one of the following methods based on the required cutting rate and jobsite conditions.

Best

Score and snap using carbide-tipped scoring knife or utility knife (Ability to use this method depends on thickness of Magnum Board® being installed.)

Fibercement board shears (electric or pneumatic).

Better

Dust reducing circular saw equipped with appropriate blade and HEPA vacuum extraction.

Good (for low to moderate cutting only)

Dust reducing circular saw with appropriate saw blade. Always use correct tools when executing all cutting operations.

Ventilation: Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limit.

Respiratory Protection: Dust mask is recommended. . Eye Protection: When cutting material, dust resistant safety goggles / glasses should be worn and used in compliance with ANSI Standard Z87.1-1-1989 and applicable

OSHA (i.e. 29 CFR 1910.133) standards. Skin Protection: Loose comfortable clothing should be worn. Magnum Building Products recommends that direct skin contact with dust and debris be avoided when possible by wearing long sleeved shirts and long trousers, a cap or hat, and gloves. Sanding / Drilling / Other Machining: If sanding, drilling, or other machining is conducted, Magnum Building Products recommends wear a NIOSH-approved dust mask. Important Notes:

1. For maximum protection (lowest respirable dust production), Magnum Building Products recommends always using “Best” level cutting methods where feasible.

2. Always use a circular saw blade that is appropriate for the specific operation being undertaken.

3. Dry sweeping is not the preferred clean up method - Magnum Building Production suggests wet suppression methods or HEPA vacuum.

4. It is not recommended that a grinder or continuous rim diamond blade be used for cutting.

5. Always follow tool manufacturer’s safety recommendations.

SECTION 11: TOLXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Magnum Board® products are non toxic in their intact form. The following applies to dust that may be generated during cutting and sanding. Chronic Effects:

Inhaled: Repeated and prolonged overexposures to dust may cause increased risk of bronchitis. It is possible that repeated inhalation exposure to Magnum Board® fiber dust over time may lead to inflammation of the lungs in humans. All necessary precautions should be taken to prevent inhalation of dust to prevent these problems.
