Xeriant, Inc. (OTCQB: XERI) announced that initial certification testing for its NexBoard™ composite construction panel and NexPatch™ joint compound is scheduled to begin this week. The company also released a 30-minute internal timelapse video showing NexBoard undergoing extreme fire testing, during which the panel was exposed to sustained flame temperatures exceeding 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit without combusting or producing smoke. Xeriant said the results demonstrate the effectiveness of its proprietary intumescent fire-retardant technology as it advances the products toward third-party certification and broader commercial applications.
The testing milestone marks a critical step for Xeriant as it seeks to bring its eco-friendly construction materials to market. NexBoard is a patent-pending composite panel made from plastic and fiber waste, designed to replace traditional materials such as drywall, plywood, OSB, MDF, and MgO board. The product is marketed under the DUREVER™ brand, which encompasses Xeriant’s advanced materials line. The company’s focus on fire resistance addresses a key safety concern in the construction industry, where building codes increasingly require materials that can withstand high temperatures and limit fire spread.
For industry leaders, the implications of Xeriant’s technology are significant. The construction sector has long sought cost-effective, fire-resistant alternatives to conventional materials. NexBoard’s ability to endure extreme heat without combustion or smoke production could position it as a game-changer in commercial and residential building applications. Moreover, the use of recycled plastic and fiber waste aligns with growing sustainability mandates, offering builders a way to meet environmental goals without compromising safety or performance.
Xeriant’s path to commercialization involves third-party certification, which will validate the product’s performance under standardized testing protocols. Success in these tests could open doors to large-scale adoption by contractors, architects, and developers. The company’s broader mission is to discover, develop, and commercialize transformative technologies across multiple industrial sectors, and NexBoard represents a key asset in its portfolio.
