What is the ASTM E136 Noncombustible Concept and Standard
ASTM E136 is a standard test method for assessing the combustibility of building materials. It determines explicitly whether materials are considered non-combustible. Materials tested under ASTM E136 are exposed to high temperatures to evaluate whether they ignite, burn, or release flammable gases.
For a material to qualify as noncombustible under ASTM E136, it must meet the following criteria during testing:
- It should not ignite or show signs of sustained flaming when exposed to a high temperature (approximately 750°C or 1380°F).
- It should not release significant heat that could contribute to fire growth.
- The material's surface and interior temperature must not exceed a certain threshold.
Many construction materials, especially those for fire-resistant applications, aim to meet or exceed ASTM E136 standards. Examples include magnesium oxide (MgO) boards, often tested and marketed as noncombustible under ASTM E136 due to their fire-resistant properties.

MagMatrix Perseverance model Sulfate MgO Board is a medium-density magnesium oxide board embedded with 4 layers of high tensile glass fiber meshes layers to make the supreme strengthening power. MagMatrix Perseverance MgO Board is EN13501-1 A1 & ASTM E136 non-combustible, which has a low environmental impact and provides a very stable substrate to combine with various surface finishes for the construction industry, which has the fire-resistant request.
It is a non-combustible sheathing panel for steel-frame applications and off-site manufacturing construction methods. It helps provide a solution where cost-effective structural fire-resistant panels are required. It is also A1 Fire Performance to EN-13501-1 and ASTM E136 noncombustible tested and certified. It offers excellent impact resistance and convenient score-and-snap workability.
MagMatrix Perseverance MgO Board is a superior choice to traditional concrete, drywall, or gypsum board. Its high-impact feature makes it suitable for a wide range of construction applications, from exterior to interior, ceilings, SIPs, and modular wall panels. It not only enhances fire resistance but also improves acoustic and thermal insulation performance. With high impact strength, it offers more durability and resistance to moisture, mold, and mildew. Plus, it can be painted and rendered on-site or off-site, providing a beautiful surface finish.
It is a breakthrough board in noncombustible construction, offering 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 4 hours of fire-rated walling, ceiling, and subflooring assembly. It meets ASTM E136 Noncombustible grade for use in all noncombustible construction types.
