TRITON® MgO: A Cleaner, Stronger, and Safer Alternative to Traditional Cement Board

TRITON® Technology is a patented nanomolecular veneer cement technology based on magnesium oxide (MgO), engineered for unmatched strength, safety, and sustainability. As a next-generation building material, it outperforms traditional products like OSB, plywood, and gypsum.

Proudly made in the USA, TRITON® boards are fireproof, water-tolerant, mold and mildew resistant, and completely free of crystalline silica, VOCs, and petroleum-based additives.

Build safer. Build smarter. Build with TRITON®.

BETTER BY DESIGN

Engineered for today’s demanding job sites, TRITON® MgO-based building products redefine performance, versatility, and sustainability for both residential and commercial construction. Powered by our proprietary high-strength magnesium-oxide cement, TRITON® boards serve as tile backer, exterior sheathing, sub-flooring, and more. Despite being ultra-lightweight, our board remains dimensionally stable - allowing crews to score, snap, and install with ease while still delivering the structural muscle professionals expect.

TRITON® goes beyond brute strength to boost job-site efficiency and environmental stewardship. Reduced weight cuts freight and handling costs, low-dust fabrication protects indoor air quality, and inherent resistance to moisture, mold, mildew, and pests slashes long-term maintenance. Superior sound-dampening and fire resistance help create quieter, safer, energy-efficient spaces - all without VOCs or harmful off-gassing.

Smarter for the builder. Safer for the occupant. Better for the planet.

FIREMAN IN THE WALL

In the U.S., nearly 75% of all civilian fire deaths happen in homes - and modern construction has only made the threat worse. Synthetic materials and open floor plans can accelerate flashover in under 2 minutes - compared to 30 minutes in older homes. The result: less time to escape, greater property loss, and higher risk for first responders.

That’s why fire-resilient building materials are no longer optional. TRITON® MgO board doesn't just resist flames - it actively fights them.

Offers 8× more fire-stopping power than traditional drywall
TRITON® Technology literally fights the fire by releasing hydrated water molecules when heat is added. It's like throwing 30 lbs. of ice per 4'x8' 1/2" backer board
Buys time, protects property, and saves lives - all while staying watertight and mold-resistant

PEOPLE AND PLANET FRIENDLY

The construction industry is a top contributor to global emissions - and many traditional boards release toxins that compromise indoor air quality. Cement and gypsum products often contain VOCs, crystalline silica, carcinogens, and other health hazards.

TRITON® MgO is redefining what clean construction looks like, without sacrificing performance.

Zero VOCs, crystalline silica, or toxic additives - making it nontoxic to cut, handle, and live with.
Improves indoor air quality for workers and occupants
In SIP applications, delivers superior insulation (high R-value) for year-round energy efficiency... keeping rooms cooler in the summer, and warmer in the winter
It's recyclable and biodegradable - leaving behind a minimal carbon footprint from production to disposal

QUALITY IS KING

Not all MgO boards are created equal. Magnesium oxide is chemically sensitive - and if poorly formulated, even similar-looking boards can fail under stress.

That’s why TRITON® focuses on consistency, control, and credibility. High quality isn't a luxury - it's the difference between protection and failure

Made in the USA under strict quality protocols
Produced using proprietary, patented chemical processes for proven results
Backed by third-party testing and certifications
Delivers real-world performance, every time

INSTALLER APPROVED. JOBSITE READY.

Installers know: a bad board costs time, tools, and trust. Traditional cement boards are heavy, brittle, and dust-heavy - leading to fatigue, breakage, and rework.

TRITON® was built with the job site in mind, combining strength with speed. It doesn't just perform better - it works smarter.

Ultra-lightweight coming in at 1/3 the weight of leading competitors
Incredibly durable and resist peeling, swelling, delaminating, and crumbling
Low-dust score-and-snap installation
Installs with fewer tools and less labor, reducing fatigue and job costs

EVERY GREAT BUILD STARTS WITH A STRONG FOUNDATION...
...AND THAT FOUNDATION IS TRITON® MGO!
